    Hi all,
    Hope this is the appropriate place for posting this query.

    Wondering if anyone can recc a good supplier of Chimney brushes & poles, I've lost faith in the usual hardware outlets selling anything of quality.
    Googled a few but they seem to be US-based, anyone know of a good product here or in UK?
    Thanks for any help - always appreciated

    Excel Industries in Coolmine.


    They are a trade supplier and you can buy/order their products via any builders providers.

    Ive used Chadwicks on a few occasions to order/buy some of their products.


    You pay in the builders providers,and you can then collect from Excel directly in Coolmine,if you wish to.

    I heard that getting your chimney cleaned is going to be regulated in the next few years. A company will have to be licensed to clean your chimney and give a cert and photographic proof and this must be provided to get house insurance otherwise no house insurance. anyone else hear this?

    Last year.

    Don't mind that they say they don't ship to Ireland. They shipped to me in Dublin.
    No probs.


    Or

    Use Parcel Motel. I use them all the time.

    Bailey Rods with Universal fiitting are the best IMO I usually order direct but see Planet X link shows the same.

    Good Luck
