I had my chimney swept and inspected last September with the view of installing a wood burner but now I've decided to have an open fire instead. The chimney sweep didn't check my loft space when he did his smoke test because he thought i'd line the chimney anyway so no I'm wondering if I need to get him back again. I'm a bit reluctant to spend £50+(I'm guessing) on him doing a 5 minute job lighting one of those smoke pellets and climbing my loft ladder when I could do it myself.
What do you guys think? Is it something that needs to be done to check a box and get a certificate to suit insurers?
