What goes into relining your chimney
Parts from one listed liner system only
A listed liner is tested as a system of pipe, connectors, top plate, cap and any insulation the maker specifies. The DuraLiner instructions warn against mixing its parts with other products, improvising solutions or modifying parts. Other makers write similar limits into their manuals.
For you, this means the estimate should name one system and its matching components. A cap from one brand on a liner from another is not a small substitution. We order the parts that belong to the proposed system and explain any accessory the job needs.
Narrow damper areas and liner shape
The damper area of a masonry fireplace can be narrower than the flue above it. Some liner systems offer oval sections or adapters to pass through a tight throat. Whether one fits depends on the actual opening and the system's own sizing table.
We measure that area during the assessment, because it can decide whether the liner passes at all. If the damper frame blocks the route, removing it may be necessary, and that is a separate line. We describe the change to the fireplace before you approve it.
What stays hidden during a relining assessment
Parts of a flue cannot be seen from the top or the bottom, especially behind offsets. We describe the accessible sections and say which parts remain concealed. A proposal should not pretend to know the condition of a passage nobody could see.
Where concealed sections could change the job, the estimate names that risk in plain words. If opening the passage reveals something new, work pauses and we explain it. Nothing is added to the agreed scope until you approve it, and the price of any addition is stated first.
Glazed deposits and relining preparation
Glazed creosote forms a hard, shiny layer that ordinary brushing may not remove. Liner instructions ask for it to be cleaned from the existing flue before relining. Left in place, it sits against the outside of the new liner.
If our assessment finds glazing, the estimate explains the extra preparation and its price. We use methods suited to the lining underneath. You see the cleaning step as a separate line, not buried in the liner price, and you can ask what it involves. Glazing deep in the flue may also affect whether the old tile stays.

Common questions about a new flue liner
Will the chimney be left open overnight during relining?
No. Before leaving each day we close off the open chimney top against rain and debris. Inside, the fireplace area is protected and cleaned, and debris is hauled away when the work is done.
How does the discount after the free inspection work?
When you book the relining no more than 72 hours after your free inspection, a 10% discount applies to the agreed work. The window starts from your own inspection, and the estimate shows the figure before you decide.
Do you leave paperwork about the liner that was installed?
Yes. You receive a written record of the work naming the liner system, the flue it serves, the appliance it was sized for and the parts installed. Keep it with the appliance manual for later visits.
