Autumn is certainly here; the leaves are changing colour, mushrooms are popping up everywhere and temperatures are beginning to fall.
We’ve left it a bit late in the year to get the chimney sweep in – he’s now booked up for months! Because we skipped a year last year, we really want to get it done this year. We’ve looked into the DIY option – these are some of the chimney sweeping sets that we’ve found on the market.
There are two ways that these brushes work; the traditional way, where the brushes and rods are manoeuvred by the user’s arms, wrists and shoulders. The other way – as in the case of #2 – is by hooking up the apparatus to an electric drill and letting that do most of the work for you.
I absolutely adore the vintage set – just perfect for clearing the chimneys on an old Welsh cottage!
