What goes into relining your chimney
Coordinating the liner with the appliance installer
Sometimes a different company installs the appliance while we install the liner. Both sides need the same information about the connector, the tee or adapter, and the clearances in the room. Gaps between two scopes are where mistakes hide.
Ask us to write down exactly where our liner work ends. We describe the connection we make and what the appliance installer should expect to find. If questions come up about the appliance itself, its manual and its installer answer them, and we say so plainly. Share our written scope with the appliance installer before either visit.
Rain entering a relined flue
A liner's cap and top plate are meant to keep rain out of the pipe. If water still reaches the appliance after relining, the cause may be the cap, the plate seal or another part of the chimney. Each has a different fix.
Tell us when the water appears and how much you see. A hose water test, used only when the job calls for it, helps tell one source from another. The finding is explained before any repair is proposed, and the repair is priced on its own line.
Weather and an open chimney during relining
Rain can interrupt relining work at the top, and an open flue lets water in. We plan the day so the chimney is not left open longer than necessary. Whatever the forecast, an open chimney is covered before we leave.
If weather stops work partway through, we explain what state the flue is in and when the job resumes. The fireplace or appliance stays out of use until the liner is complete. We tell you when it is ready to use again and what to watch for.
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.

Common questions about a new flue liner
Who handles the appliance itself during relining in The Roads?
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.
What if my appliance needs a vent the chimney cannot provide?
Some appliances vent under pressure or condense their flue gases, and the chimney liner standard excludes those types. Their manuals specify their own vent systems. We explain this before any liner estimate is written, so nothing is bought in error.
How do I compare relining quotes from different companies?
Line them up by liner system and listing, size, insulation, top parts, connection and preparation. Ask what each one excludes. A lower total that leaves out insulation or tile removal is describing a different job.
