Fitting a fireplace insert, from host to handover
Clean and check the chimney before relining
Insert and liner instructions both call for the existing chimney to be cleaned and checked before the liner goes in. Soot, deposits and loose debris can block the liner's path or hide damage in the flue. Starting clean also gives a true picture of the masonry.
We clean the flue as a separate step and look for cracked, loose or missing masonry along the way. What we find is explained before the liner work continues. If a repair is needed, it is priced on its own, and the relining waits until it is finished.
Liner parts from one system only
Liner instructions warn against mixing parts with other products or improvising solutions. The connector, the pipe, the top plate and the cap were tested together. Parts from another system may look compatible and still change how the liner performs.
We order the complete set of parts the liner system lists for your chimney. If a part is missing on delivery, the job waits for the right one. Your record lists the liner system so any later repair can stay within it, whoever carries it out.
Handover and the first walk-through
At handover, we go through the air control, the door latch, the blower if fitted and the loading routine the manual describes. We point out the label, the clearances and the floor protection so you know where they are. The manual stays with you.
We also explain the break-in fires, the paint odor and the habits the manual asks for, such as keeping the door closed and the ashes in a metal container. Questions that come up after the early fires are welcome, and a maintenance visit can follow later.
Keeping the house protected while we work
Insert work happens in the living room and on the roof at the same time. We cover floors along the path, protect the hearth and contain soot from the chimney cleaning. An open chimney top is covered at the close of each work day until the liner and cap are set.
Old parts, packaging and debris from cleaning are gathered as we go and hauled away when we finish. Tell us about pets, alarms or rooms we should avoid. The goal is a finished insert and a room that looks the way it did before we arrived.

Questions about fireplace insert installation in Sandalfoot Cove
How is the discount for booking quickly applied?
If the insert and liner are approved while fewer than 72 hours have passed since your free inspection, 10% comes off what you agreed. Nothing about the discount asks you to decide before we have looked at the fireplace, since the clock begins at your own inspection.
What do we keep after the insert is installed?
Keep the insert manual, the liner instructions and the written record we leave. That record lists the model, serial number, liner system and clearances checked, and it notes any change to the damper.
What does the free inspection include for an insert in Sandalfoot Cove?
We look at the masonry fireplace, the smoke chamber, the damper, the chimney and flue, the hearth and the trim around the opening. We also check roof access for the liner work and measure the opening in three directions.
