20. Clean the chimney

When you think about sweeping chimneys, imagine Bert from Mary Poppins dancing around with a broom covered with soot. He seems quite pleased with this job, so imagine that it’s as easy as joking with a brush around inside your chimney. These workers are not very happy, and they only try to complete the dirty work.

Chimney cleaners need to work with specialized cleaning tools, as well as climb onto the roof. Sometimes, when there is a blockage in the chimney, they may have to completely disassemble the bricks to reach the source of the problem. Spoiler alert – a dead bird usually causes this. Scanning chimneys is a dirty job in every sense of the word. If you don’t want to deal with all that mess, it’s best to let it for chimney cleaners because they know what they should do.
