The liner work behind a sound flue in Flagami

A new liner still needs cleaning

A liner gives flue gases a sound passage, but it does not stop deposits from forming. Burning wood still leaves residue on the inside of the pipe. The DuraLiner manual includes maintenance guidance for that reason, with advice on inspection and cleaning.

Keep the liner's instructions with the appliance manual and follow them. Maintenance visits from our team can include the liner, the cap and the top plate. The manual also warns against relying on chemical cleaners in place of mechanical cleaning, and we follow that advice.

What a relining estimate leaves out

An honest relining estimate says what it does not cover. Crown repair, masonry work, damper repair and the appliance itself are common exclusions. Knowing them avoids a surprise when the liner is done and another problem remains.

We list exclusions in plain words. If one of them affects whether the liner can be installed, we say that too. You decide which items to handle and in what order, and each carries its own price if you choose it. Exclusions do not weaken an estimate. They show where its edges are.

Sealing the flue opening at the top plate

The top plate closes the gap between the liner and the old flue opening. Rain that gets past it runs down the outside of the liner, where it is hard to see. The manufacturer's instructions describe how the plate is fitted and sealed.

We fit the plate to the flue opening and follow the sealing steps in the manual. If the flue top is irregular or damaged, that is noted before installation. The written record says which top parts were installed and how they were secured.

Where the liner size appears in the estimate

A relining estimate should state the liner size, not only the product name. The size is what connects the liner to the appliance manual and to the code rule on flue area. Without it, two quotes cannot be compared fairly.

Our estimate lists the size and the reason for it. If a different size would fit the passage more easily, we explain why we did not choose it. You can check the figure against the appliance manual yourself. A missing size is a reasonable thing to ask any company about.

Chimney relining questions and answers

Will relining fix the cracks in my chimney's brickwork?

No. A liner works inside the flue. Cracked brick, open joints, a damaged crown or leaking flashing are separate conditions with their own repairs. We list them as separate items so you can decide on each one and see its price.

What if the liner will not fit down my flue?

Then the options are preparation, such as removing broken tile, or a different liner form that suits the route. If neither works, we explain what that means for the appliance. You hear this at the assessment, not on installation day.

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.
