I think that some birds are nesting in our chimney.  We are getting large 
amounts of soot, dust, twigs etc appearing on the hearth on a daily basis. 
Also, we think that our TV aerial has moved as we used to have perfect 
reception with our freeview box, but now it "jumps".  It looks like it 
points in a different direction to our neighbours!  Is it possible that 
birds have moved it?  Is it likely to have birds in the chimney? What can we 
do to solve the situation?

Then fit a cover to stop it happening next year seem to think rspb had 
details of suitable ones for all fire types

Go to your local garden shop and buy one of the lifelike models of a hawk 
and put it up near the chimney and the birds will not come back...
