I'm looking for someone to carry out a smoke test on my open fire. I recently had a chimney fire which caused quite a lot of damage to my living room. The insurance company have advised me to get this test done but I don't know anyone who can do it. The test is to show there is no damage inside the chimney breast which may leak carbon monoxide into the rooms. I'd be grateful for your help.

I think the chimney sweep can do this as well. He certainly used smoke pellets to check my mother in laws when she had it cleaned a few weeks ago.

Thank you all for your help. Will give the sweep a try first I think. I just want to get it tested as I have a 3 month old daughter and she's too precious to loose to carbon monoxide.
