13" x 13" Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluder

Chimney Sheep: First job, clean the flu. You will get dirty and protect your eyes. Measure the flu. Not as easy as it sounds, the narrowest part may be further up than you thought..Mine was 9 × 12 ins. Ordered the 13 × 13 sheep, it fitted well with a bit of fiddling.The results are very good. Less air going up the flu and I believe it has made the room quieterNot cheap, but does the job.

I had been using the plastic inflatable ones for years. They leak, they move, they start deflating. This wool made product is a fantastic solution that creates an airtight seal and that will never deflate. It is all high quality and well thought out, from the base to the plastic handle and the little visual ‘safety sheep’. Buy the right shape and size, slightly larger than your chimney as the edges bend to create the seal. Buy without esitation.

Ordered this to stop draft coming down the chimney. Installed well. Was well made and fit great. Did what it was meant to.

I’ve had some of these in an old Victorian property with open fires and they did the job very well during the winter months and perfect for keeping the heat from escaping up the flu.

Please tell me why I didn't discover this product years ago, it's brilliant! I've been using the stupid bag ones which keep deflating and falling out of the chimney, I got covered in soot, not to mention having to get half way up there to hold it on place whilst I inflated it, getting Ash and soot all over my mouth. This one was a doddle, 5 seconds, push it in and it has stayed in place, fits perfectly, no mess. And we are from the lake district so delighted to be using natural materials from our region!!!! Thinking about getting the slippers now!

It turns out chimneys really do come in all shapes and sizes. When we moved into our new house it was nearing summer so we didn't really notice how cold it would get in the living room until later last year - suffice to say with nothing blocking the chimney it was blowing a gale and the room was uninhabitable without the heating cranked up.I tried a few different things - newspaper up the chimney etc - but I have a funny shaped flue so after some research came across these. They do seem a little expensive at first glance, but there's no denying that - after some careful trimming to size (don't worry, that's part of the instructions!) it has not only stopped the draft but also provides over an inch of insulation to the chimney so it's acting as a reasonable heat barrier there too.I had to put this quite high up our chimney so got one of the extension rods below, which is handy as it means the tag hangs far enough down so there's no danger of lighting a fire without noticing this is still in place.6 inch extension rod for Chimney SheepHighly recommended solution to the problem of heat lost up the chimney.

I bought this to close off the flue in my lounge which is hardly used. It can be trimmed to make a snug fit and this is what I did. I needed an extension handle to be able to insert and remove it more easily. Once in place it works well and completely stopped the draught from the flue. This resulted in both a more comfortable room and it stopped the 1.5C imbalance between the hall and landing temperatures.Recommended.

Not the easiest thing - trying to measure the internal measurements of a chimney. Anyway, third size lucky and all sorted. I heard this product mentioned in passing on the radio a couple of weeks ago and very pleased to have a much better solution than the scrunched up newspaper and pizza box that fell out a couple of months ago! Not cheap but what price a tricky issue solved.
