VeritySootbusters Chimney Sweeps, Verity speaking — how can I help?
CallerHi, I'd like to book in for a chimney sweep, please. I'm looking for sometime next week if you've got availability.
VerityRight, I can help with that. What fuel do you burn — wood, coal or smokeless?
CallerOh, it's an open fire, so just wood really.
VerityThanks. How many chimneys have you got?
CallerJust the one chimney.
VerityWhen was it last swept?
CallerUm, I'm not entirely sure — it's been a while, maybe a couple of years ago?
VerityOkay. Do you need a certificate — that's if it's for insurance or a mortgage?

What does Verity actually say when someone rings a chimney sweep?
