Chimney & Fireplace

Neighbour’s wood burner

Recently I was getting smoke down my chimney from neighbour’s wood burner. Our chimneys adjoin. I don’t have any form of heating in my fireplace at all. My neighbour fitted a rotating cowl to his chimney and that solved my problem. However I can smell smoke in my hallway beneath my loft hatch. I’ve been up in the loft and although I can’t see smoke I can smell it. My neighbour said he would light his burner and check his loft for signs of smoke, there were none, and we looked at mine with a torch only and couldn’t see any obvious signs. However this evening the smell is there and obvious in the loft although I couldn’t see smoke. I checked with torch only and then with the light on. I live in a bungalow. Can anyone offer any advice or a solution to this problem?
