The photo above shows us backing South Yorkshire Fire Services in there push recommending people to have there chimneys swept to avoid chimney fires, see full story here http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/local/barnsley/firefighters_warn_of_chimney_blazes_1_4106838. Do you know, for example, that the heat generated around a stove pipe inserted into an unlined chimney can reach temperatures of 800 degrees fahrenheit.
A. YES you do need to have a thatched property swept and importantly be quite sure in your own mind that the sweep has been right to the top of the chimney. The heat from stove fires cools rapidly as it rises and this is why soot and creosote (created from the use of wood) will adhere the chimney. A.Have it swept!
A lot of people will spend ages polishing and cleaning the glass etc, but neglect to have the chimney swept. If it is not kept clear, then the firewill not work to its best ability and you will have ensuing problems. A. YOU DO need an audible Carbon Monoxide alarm if you burn or use any kind of fossil fuel - gas/oil/wood/coal.

My husband used I&G chimney sweep services last weekend, he was incredibly happy with their service from start to finish. From the first time my husband spoke to Ian he was impressed with his phone manner and attitude. The quote was the best he had found and the service couldn't be faulted. We will definitely use them again and certainly recommend them to others. Many thanks guys.
