What goes into relining your chimney
A liner for an open fireplace follows other sizing rules
When the flue serves a masonry fireplace rather than a sealed appliance, the code sizes it against the fireplace opening. A liner that is too small for the opening can leave the fireplace short of draft. That makes relining an open fireplace a different calculation from relining for a stove.
Tell us whether you plan to keep burning in the open fireplace or connect an appliance later. The answer changes which rule governs the liner size. We explain the basis for our sizing in the estimate, so you can see which part of the code the proposal relies on.
The existing flue is cleaned before relining
Liner instructions call for the existing masonry flue to be inspected and cleaned before a liner goes in. The DuraLiner manual specifically mentions removing glazed creosote. Deposits left behind stay in the space around the new liner, where nobody can reach them later.
The cleaning is listed as its own line in the estimate. If heavy glazing needs more than ordinary brushing, we explain the extra step before doing it. You approve the preparation and the liner as parts of one plan, with each part priced so you can see it.
Liner size tables in the manual
Liner manuals include tables that match liner sizes to flue openings and appliance connections. They show which liner fits which passage, and sometimes which adapters are needed. They do not replace the appliance's own venting requirements.
We use both documents together. The appliance sets the required size, and the liner table shows whether the passage can take it. If the two conflict, the estimate explains the conflict and the options for resolving it. Tables also list the adapters a connection may require. Those small parts appear in the estimate as well.
When relining is not the recommendation
Sometimes the assessment points away from relining. The lining may be repairable, the appliance may need a different vent, or the chimney structure may need attention first. A liner estimate in those cases would solve the wrong problem.
We explain the reason and the alternative. If the alternative is work we do, we describe it and price it. If it belongs to another trade, we say so and do not stretch our scope to cover it, because a clear boundary protects you. A clear no is as useful to you as a clear yes.

Questions to settle before relining
Is a stainless liner suitable for any fuel?
Not automatically. The listing decides which appliances and fuels a liner may serve, and two stainless products can carry different listings. We name the listing in the estimate and match it to your appliance manual before anything is ordered.
Are the top plate and cap included in the relining price?
They belong to the liner system, so our relining estimate includes them. A larger cap covering several flues, or crown repair around the plate, would be listed separately if the inspection shows it is needed.
Can I use my fireplace while I decide about relining?
If an inspection has raised doubts about the lining, hold off until the question is resolved. A damaged lining can let heat and flue gases reach places they should not. We explain what is known so you can decide with the facts.
