How did you cope with the volume of soot?

When I swept it myself? With a shovel behind the woodburner into a bucket.
I don't really want to do that again.
I too have a Dyson. Good as they are they will not sweep my chimney.
Woodman has given me the name of a chimney sweep. I hope it's not the one
that said no way.
It cannot be impossible to sweep my chimney. I sort of did it not very well.
Access is difficult, true but surely a proper sweep can do it.
