Thanks for the replies. Due to the bends in my chimney I am letting the sweep do it this time(and the slate 2 story roof). Unfortunately I won't be able to take off work to watch him, so I will have to read up and figure out how to do it myself to save money next year.
Here's what I use: http://www.sooteater.com/chimney/
I find it very easy to use and does a good job and goes around the bends very easily. A brush & rope will do a good job as well but I just find this a bit easer.
