Yes I just had a quote for sweeping $30 per flu - *but* he wanted £55 per
chimney pot to fit birdproof covers. That's what I wanted the roofing ladder for

For some reason, the sweep we got didn't fit them, but he recommended
someone - £80 - fortunately, we only have one pot. Guess we could have
got one cheaper, but we needed it quickly.
