Chimney Lining
If your chimney has failed the HETAS approved smoke test, then your chimney will need lining before it can be used for gas or solid fuel. Also, if when you light your fire, you can then smell fumes in another room, this means that the mid feathers (the bricks that divide the chimneys) have deteriorated. In this case we would not need to do the test, as we know that it needs a chimney liner to be fitted before it could be used.
We carry out chimney lining for wood stoves, multifuel stoves, open fires and gas fires. We use flexible stainless steel chimney liners, which are double skinned for solid fuel and single skinned for gas fires.
Having a chimney liner fitted by our company means that you do not need to get Building Regulations to come and inspect it, as we are HETAS approved, and fit to Building Regulations section J.
If you decide not to have a liner fitted on a leaking chimney, the only type of appliance you can safely use is electric. Please see our selection of electric fires and stoves.
Below are some of the properties where we have carried out chimney linings.
