Repairing the flue lining you already have in Kendale Lakes
Three routes to a sound flue again
Most damaged clay flues lead to one of three routes. A broken tile near the top can often be replaced on its own. Open joints and minor defects along the run may suit a listed repair or resurfacing system. A flue that cannot be made sound is relined instead.
Each route has its own conditions and its own scope. We describe which route fits your flue, what it would involve and what it would leave untouched. If two routes could both work, the estimate shows each so you can choose between them.
Repaired flues and future appliance changes
A repair method is checked against the appliance the flue serves when the work is done. If you later change appliances, the repaired flue has to be checked again against the new one. Its size, its eligibility and the repair system's scope may not fit the change.
If a change is likely, mention it before we recommend a method. It may make sense to choose a route that suits both the current and the planned appliance. The estimate states which one the repair was planned for. The written record keeps that appliance name for whoever checks the flue next.
Product and workmanship warranties on a flue repair
A listed repair product can carry its maker's own warranty, usually with conditions about installation, maintenance and use. Our workmanship warranty covers how we did the repair. The two answer different questions, so it helps to keep them apart.
We explain the maker's conditions that apply to the product we used and what our workmanship warranty covers. Both are noted when we hand over the written record of the work. Keep them together with your chimney papers so a later visit can find them. Neither warranty replaces the maintenance the product instructions ask for.
What a flue repair visit in Kendale Lakes includes
A flue repair visit in Kendale Lakes follows the plan you approved. The flue is cleaned and prepared, loose material is removed, and the repair method is applied to the sections agreed. Room protection goes down before any of it starts.
At the end we check the repaired flue as far as it can be seen, explain what was done and give you the curing instructions. Debris is hauled away. If anything was left for another visit, we say what and why. You can ask to see the removed top tile or any other fallen pieces.

Flue repair answers before you approve
Do you repair flues that serve gas-fired appliances?
Where the repair system's listing covers the appliance, yes. Some systems exclude gas appliances that vent under pressure or condense their flue gases. We check your appliance against the listing before recommending any method.
Can you replace just the top tile of my flue?
Often, yes. The top tile is reachable from the roof and can be replaced on its own if the tiles below are sound. We check below it first and restore the bond break where the tile passes through the crown.
Is resurfacing the same as installing a liner?
No. Resurfacing restores the existing clay lining. One maker states that its sealant does not provide the thermal protection of a liner and is not meant to be used as one. A new liner is a separate job with its own estimate.
