[broken link removed] is also selling the chimney balloon and I think the all in (i.e. including P&P) prices come out at about the same as the UK operation.I got a chimney balloon from hxxp://www.chimney-balloon.co.uk a few months back.
They are not likely to reduce the noise (they certainly havnt done in my case) during stormy weather. However, they do have a function in terms of energy efficiency - reducing the heat loss from the main living space in the house. In proportion to the cost, well worth having.

A difference in terms of noise or draughts or both?
Yeah thats my experience - has no effect on dumbing down the noise but effective for draughts.Draughts - I dont feel the air coming down the chimney anymore.
The noise has never bothered me, although I'd imagine, on windy nights in the future, the noise will be reduced because the downdraft is now blocked.
yes. The balloons come in a few different sizes to suit differing chimney widths.Surely you just measure the width and depth of your chimney just above the fireplace and then decide if the balloon will need to be installed high enough to warrant the inflation extension tube?
