Thinking of getting some brushes but would like some advice first

Are we talking metal liner. Precast clay type or square masonry

House was built in 2000, I would say it is a precast clay of 8" internal diameter

I get all of my gear from these guys:

Wood Burning Stoves and Chimney Systems from Stock - High Wycombe

We are a huge wood burning stove and chimney centre, located just outside of High Wycombe in Stokenchurch. We have a stove showroom together with a huge wartehouse packed full of chimney flue systems, chimney liners, chimney cowls, pipe flashings etc.

www.fluesystems.com

I use the 1m lengths of 10mm nylon flexy rods, and have the suitable mops to suit all chimneys.
These rods are gentle enough to handle lined flues and are firm enough to cope with precast flues and open brick types.
I also use the blue drainage rods on occasion, and have the larger mops from Toolstation or whatever.
I have tried the drill operated flail types '(guaranteed not to fail in the flue (quote) ' and they bloody well did!
This gear plus a big Ryobi double filtered vac suits me well!

Personally I always use the blue drain rod type, before that cane, for masonry/ precast and 10mm flexible rods for metal liners and twin wall sectional.
