My chimney is a very old and wide.
I suspect that the brush I use may not be contacting the sides of the
chimney.Is this likely and can I get a wider one or use another
technique?


I believe they used to pull a hollybush branch through (letting a stone
down on a rope, attaching the holly branch and then pulling it up from the
top). That, or a small fir tree.


'Tis a shame the scout movement stopped 'bob-a-job' week. Or you could hire
one of these
