I have a friend who is a chimney sweep... His prices start at £40. There is good money in it.

Takes a lot of work to build up though because the repeat work is only every 6 - 12 months!

We tried it; just the once. WFP was useless; we spent a fortnight trying to rince soot from the brush and the custy's carpets were soaked through!!!
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

You were obviously using too much water. Turn the flow down next time ;)

Being a tight git, i did my own. Never again , i made hell of a mess  ::)
It went every where! could'nt get it out of the carpet  :P
I tried to tape a empty sack to the fire place with a slit cut in the middle for the pole to poke through. Umm  the sack fell of  :o and you can picture the rest , red and black carpet just don't look right.

from my point of view it's the best 40 quid i pay each yr
