Hi,
After much investigation, and walking around our estate to see what other people have done, I've decided that in order to solve our problem of a down-draught via the chimney flue into our living room on windy days, I'd get a rotating chimney cowl like one of these:

chimney/flue is not far from the gutter protruding from the roof and takes the form of a galvanised metal pipe, about a metre in length. The house was built in 2000.- Is it easy to fit a new cowl in place of the not very good one there at the moment?
- Do you need to be corgi registered in order to fit one?
3.And, has anyone got any recommendations as to a good make, I.E. with good quality bearings so the noise doesn't rumble through the house?
I'm not going to have a go at it myself as I haven't the balls to mess around at the top of a set of ladders, so I was going to try and find someone to do it cash as I doubt it'd take long to fit but wanted some advice.
Thanks,
Jon
