Keep meaning to get our wood stove swept. Keep forgetting. This is the second year its been in and its never been done. Is it something to do yourself? Can’t be much harder than stuffing brushes up the pipe with a smidgen of caution so’s not to knock the bird basket off surely?

If so, any reccomendations for brushes? Its a 125mm lined flue.
