Rich1972 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi allI'm on the Charente/Vienne border, about halfway between Civray and Ruffec (16700) and I've been trying to find a ramoneur pour le ramonage to come and sweep two chimneys. No luck with the online Yellow Pages. Does anyone have a recommendation? I'd be very grateful as time is getting on and it really needs doing.Many thanksRich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegwini Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Me too- about 30 minutes NE of Poitiers- dept 86/VienneDoes anyone have a recommendation & what is the usual price ?Many thanksTegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Go to http://www.pagesjaunes.fr/, enter ramonage in the first field and your dept number (or nearest other dept) in the second field, then click on trouver.EDIT: We do it ourselves, but I remember paying €60 3 or 4 years ago.Some roofers do sweeping at this time of year.Ask your neighbours who they use or call one of the firms listed in Pages Jaunes for a possible recommendation closer to your home.

tegwini Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks Clair But, is it OK to allow a non-ramoneur to do it ? I have someone in mind who is a plumber. Will this affect your house insurance if there is a fire?RegardsTegwini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The chimney sweeping question usually comes up around this time of the year...A forum search for "ramonage" will bring up the previous threads and help you decide.http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/850285/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Lou Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Can't help with a recommendation as am too far away but we had ours done last month and it was 50 Euros. But, I think some of the other posts are a bit worrying - I have checked with our house insurer - if we have a fire and don't have a current ramonage certificate (just the receipt is fine as long as it's dated & signed) our insurance is invalid!!!
