I can tell you chimney sweeps exist and are pretty expensive, but I suppose you know that already which is why you want the brushes. We get our chimney swept every 2 years and he comes to three houses at a time so he gives a better price. In fact this year the price went down; I think he made a mistake. It was about 55€ I think and other years I think it's been 80€

Hmm,
Carrefour no, Leroy Merlin I doubt it. I think, do a search for cepillo dehollinador and the place where you live and you might get smth.

There must be somewhere in Spain that does them, afterall there are far more fires and chimneys in Spain than the UK I'd have thought???

Maybe this is a business opportunity????

A couple of years ago I tried phoning other chimney sweeps in the area because I thought 80€ for about 20mins work was too expensive. The others were 90€ upwards!!!!
This is a business opportunity for
  1. After the recession.
  2. only for the autumn season
