Why we need to line chimneys
For a stove to work successfully, it must be connected to a sound chimney and correctly sized flue. The functions of a chimney are to safely remove the products of combustion from the appliance to the outside without causing danger to the occupants and risk setting the house itself on fire. Once the stove is correctly installed all air movement must be through the appliance, this in turn will create the correct flue draw and eliminate heat loss.
There are a number of reasons why the chimney may need lining, these can be summarised as follows:
- The flue is leaking smoke and fumes into other rooms or parts of the building
- Condensates or tar are seeping through the chimney walls causing staining either outside or inside the building
- The flue is much too large for the type of appliance used
- The flue is too cold particularly if on the outside wall and consequently not drawing properly
- If the chimney was built since 1965, but with the liners installed the wrong way up (regrettably this is quite a common occurrence!), tar and condensate may occur.
- The old flue surface is eroded, causing leakage, chilling and poor updraft.
