Insert, liner and hearth, planned together in Whisper Walk
A liner from the insert to the chimney top
Current insert manuals call for a continuous liner running from the insert's flue collar all the way to the top of the chimney. The old masonry flue becomes an enclosure for that liner rather than the path for smoke. A short connector into the bottom of the flue does not meet that requirement.
We plan the liner as part of the insert, not as an optional extra. The estimate names the liner system, its length and how it attaches at each end. You see the whole path the smoke will take before you approve anything.
Replacement parts from the insert's parts list
Manuals say that if a component fails, it should be replaced only with the maker's listed part. Baffles, air tubes, firebrick, gaskets and glass are all specific to the model. A generic substitute may fit loosely or behave differently under heat.
Your written record names the model and serial number, which makes ordering the right part straightforward. We explain which parts wear with normal use and which should last much longer. Replacing a worn part early is usually simpler than waiting for it to fail.
Ordering and scheduling an insert job
An insert and its liner system are ordered for your specific fireplace and chimney. Some models arrive quickly, while others take longer, and the liner parts must all be on hand before relining starts. Starting with a missing part can leave the chimney open.
We confirm the parts list against both manuals before ordering and check deliveries as they arrive. If something is delayed, we tell you and adjust the date. We do not substitute a different part to hold a schedule. The installation itself is planned around roof access and your household routine.
Choosing the faceplate finish
Faceplates usually come in a few finishes and sizes, and some offer trim pieces that frame the edge. The choice is mostly about looks, provided the faceplate covers the opening fully. The fireplace face around it stays visible.
Bring ideas about the look you want, and we show the options the maker offers for your model. We explain which size covers your opening and how the trim meets the brick or stone. Finish choices do not change the clearances, which the label sets.

Common questions about liners and wood inserts
Is the chimney cleaned before the liner is installed?
Yes. Insert and liner instructions call for the chimney to be cleaned and checked first. We do that as a separate step, look for damaged masonry and explain any repair before relining continues.
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.
Can an insert go into a fireplace with cracked firebrick?
Not until the firebrick is repaired. Insert manuals require a sound host free of cracks and loose mortar. The repair is a separate item handled by our firebox repair service before the insert is installed.
