If you haven’t swept your chimney yet, you should do so as soon as possible. Present on the 19/20 set, Monday November 7, journalist Anthony Jolly reminds us that sweeping is an obligation.
As winter approaches, don’t forget to have your chimney swept because it is mandatory. “If you have a chimney, you must have it swept once every year”, recalls journalist Anthony Jolly, present on the set of 19/20, Monday, November 7. Some municipalities and insurance even require it twice a year. It is therefore better to inquire in order to be compensated in the event of a claim. You can also do it yourself, but it has no legal value. “In other words : this does not exempt you from bringing in a professional once a year”says the journalist.
But how do you avoid being taken in by rogue chimney sweeps? “First, ask yourself: is the company approaching me on the street? Has it existed for a long time? Then, do not hesitate to ask the professional for the SIRET number of his company. This number, you can enter it on the infogreffe.fr website and that way you will know if the company really exists”details Anthony Jolly. Once the sweeping is finished, “the professional must give you a sweeping certificate”.
