I wouldn't have thought so.

Have you got central heating?
Question Author
Yes but the house is so old and cold that the fires are needed too.
How much does it cost nowadays?
Question Author
Depends on if you get a master sweeper or not but we have 3 chimneys!!

I might chance my arm and ask if they have a preferred sweeper and see if they offer!! lol

i think the landlord would be perfecty entitled to say "don't use the fires then"
It's a common provision in leases and tenancy agreements. Certainly had it in two places I rented. It being specifically mentioned suggests that there has been case law, or simple interpretation, that otherwise it counts as maintenance of the structure and is the landord's responsibility (or liability). So, prima facie, it is.
