Will an annual chimney sweep ensure that my home insurance is valid?
Your insurance company will very likely have some specifications in their small print for that to be done. You must also notify your insurance company if you’re installing a real fire for the first time, because you’re adding to the risk and that may alter your policy – you might not be covered for it.
Can I seep the chimney my self?
You are strongly advised to use a professional chimney sweep as they are fully trained and will issue a certificate as proof of sweeping for your insurance company.
