Why should I consider having a chimney liner installed?
A chimney liner has a number of important functions and helps to create the conditions required for the flue system to function effectively. The following are some important considerations:
1. Gaps in your brickwork or unseen pointing issues may cause leakage of dangerous gasses into your home. A good example of one such dangerous gas is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide can be lethal and can go undetected. Where a chimney liner is not present, such gasses can leak into rooms adjoining the chimney and into your loft.
2. A Chimney liner will contain all the exhaust gases produced by burning solid fuels and prevent debris, such as crumbled mortar, from entering your living space, before expelling it safely away from your home.
3. Chimneys were originally designed to expel smoke and gasses created by coal. Wood burns at a lower temperature than coal, which means the gasses released by wood are more likely to condense inside an unlined chimney. This can cause a build-up of creosote, within your chimney, leading to staining on your chimney breast and inside your home. Increased levels of creosote increases the risk of chimney fires.
4. A liner will keep the flue diameter constant all the way up the chimney, which helps to keep the gases hot enough to rise up and out of your flue, reducing the likelihood of condensation.
5. A constant flue diameter also has the effect of improving the ‘draw’ of your chimney. This is the air-flow within the flue system which encourages your stoves to light and burn efficiently.
6. Sweeping will be a lot easier if the flue is the same size all the way up, resulting in less soot build-up. Your chimney sweep will thank you for installing a liner!
Some home insurance companies will insist on the installation of a chimney liner, when a new stove is being installed. It is recommended that you confirm with your home insurer, before reaching a final decision.
If your chimney does not leak then it is possible to connect to your existing chimney using a register plate or spigot plate. However, we would always suggest you install a liner, where possible.
All of our chimney liners are HETAS approved and satisfy the relevant building regulation requirements.
