can anyone tell me, with regard to chimney sweeps etc

1. is the certificate neccessary to make using a chimney 'legal'

2. are those bricks that are meant to clean your chimney worth it

    and so how does that leave you if you don't have a cert

 

kind regards

Brian

 

ps thing in the Times today saying that a French family are being prosecuted as they 'allowed' a drunk guest to drive home. Will these mean that there will be a mega market for legirons in France ?

We received this info from our insurance company last week:

 

A chimney or insert should be installed by a professional who will respect the NF  in respect of the quality of the products used, both for the installation and isolation.

Your chimney should be swept by a professional using a brush system at least once a year and every six months if one uses combustibles résineux or you have an insert.

NOTA:le ramonage par produits chimiques ou par aspiration est inefficace.

So no, our insurance company does not recommend that one uses these blocks and I suppose now they have put it in print would not cover us if we had a fire after simply using them.
