My name is Paddy McKeown, I am a retired police officer (Detective Sergeant – Metropolitan Police), turned chimney sweep. I have completed training with ‘The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps’, and Rod Tech UK (Power Sweeping).
Chimneys in Cyprus
We have just returned from our summer holiday in Cyprus, where on the whole chimneys do look rather different than here in the UK. Most days the temperature was in the high 30’s and it was very hard to imagine ever needing to light a fire and use a chimney, the locals assured us that it can get cold in the winter months and at times they even have snow. Its very hard to pick out in the photo, but the traditional fisherman’s cottage does have a very short factory made chimney that is rather too close to the roof for comfort, making it very hard to see. It definitely does not conform with UK building regulations! We back to work now and all ready for our really busy season of sweeping!
