What goes into relining your chimney
Sizing starts with the appliance manual
A liner is sized to the appliance it serves, not to the opening at the top of the chimney. The DuraLiner instructions, for example, say the liner shall be no smaller than the size the appliance manufacturer specifies. Other listed systems carry similar wording in their own manuals.
That is why we ask for the make and model before we quote. With the appliance manual in hand, the required flue size becomes a documented figure rather than an estimate. If the manual is missing, we look for the model label on the unit and work from the published instructions.
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.
Removing a failed liner before replacement
Chimney liner replacement starts with taking the old liner out. Corroded or crushed pipe can resist removal, and parts may come out in sections. The existing top plate, cap and connector usually go with it.
We explain how the old liner will be removed and where the waste goes. Debris is cleaned up and hauled away at the end of the work. If the removal reveals damage to the flue behind it, we stop and discuss it before the scope changes. The replacement liner is then sized as if the job were new, from the appliance manual rather than the old pipe.
Changes during relining need your approval
Relining can uncover conditions that were not visible at the assessment. A tile may crumble as the liner goes down, or the connection may need a different fitting. These are reasons to stop and talk, not permission to extend the job.
When something changes, we explain what was found and what it means for the liner. You decide whether to add the work, and the price is stated before it happens. Upfront pricing applies to changes as much as to the original estimate, so the final figure holds no surprises.

Common questions about a new flue liner
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.
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.
What warranty applies to a new chimney liner?
Two apply. The liner maker's product warranty has its own conditions, often including maintenance. Our workmanship warranty covers how we installed it. We explain both when we hand over the written record of the work.
