Flues & Chimney Lining
By law, every working fireplace, whether using solid fuel or a class one gas fire it is required to have a functioning flue in good condition.
After many years use old, and particularly unlined chimneys can create many problems. Over time hot smoke, tars and acids eat into the chimney walls and erode mortar joints causing staining to the exterior stone or brickwork, and leakage of dangerous fumes into the property.
As many old chimneys were built without flue liners and risk leakage it is always prudent to have a new liner fitted. Indeed, most stove and fire manufacturers require that the chimney has a suitable flue liner of the correct size and specification to ensure safe and efficient operation of the fire or stove.
Burning desires provides a comprehensive survey and installation service. Lining is the safest solution to ensure a fully functional flue.
All work is in accordance with current British Standards and Building Regulations.
