Hi all,
We have moved into a house and I got the chimney swept.
The chimney sweep said that it needed to be lined at a cost of £1000 and he couldn't do it till after Christmas.
I got someone else in and they said they would do it but it would not need doing!
I bought some smoke pellets from the DIY shop and no smoke escapes into the house or the loft. However I did see a small amount coming out of what looked to be next doors loft space. I.e. it was coming out through her roof tiles.
I am now stuck with a decision. What are the dangers of lighting a fire without the lining?
Many thanks,
Chris
