Chimney relining details worth knowing in Shorecrest
What happens to the old damper during relining
When a liner runs down to an appliance, the existing throat damper can stand in the way. Its plate or frame may have to come out for the liner to pass. That changes how the fireplace opening works afterwards, so it is not a detail to skip.
The estimate says whether the damper stays, is removed, or is left as found. If you want the fireplace to work as an open fireplace later, tell us now. Damper repair and top-mounted dampers are their own services, and we keep them separate from the liner price.
When a gas appliance allows another liner material
Some gas-fired appliance listings allow liner materials that would not suit solid fuel. The appliance manual and the liner listing together decide what is acceptable. A material that is fine for one fuel may be wrong for another.
We do not assume one metal suits every flue. If you might switch from gas to solid fuel later, a liner chosen only for gas may need replacing. Tell us about that possibility, and we explain how it changes the recommendation before any size or material is fixed.
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.
A follow-up look at a new liner
After a period of use, a relined flue can show whether the connection and top parts are behaving as planned. Deposits, rattles at the cap or smoke at the appliance are worth telling us about. None of these should be ignored.
Describe what you notice and when it happens. A follow-up visit can check the connection, the cap and the liner interior. If a workmanship issue is found, our workmanship warranty addresses it, and we explain what was corrected. Early attention to small signs keeps them small.

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.
Do you remove the old liner before installing a new one?
When an old liner has failed, it normally comes out first, along with its top plate and cap. We explain how it will be removed and haul the debris away. Damage found behind it is discussed before the scope changes.
Who handles the appliance itself during relining in Shorecrest?
Our work covers the liner, its top parts and the connection agreed in the estimate. If another company installs or services the appliance, we describe exactly where our scope ends so nothing falls between the two jobs.
