How a rough chamber becomes a smooth one
Curing the chamber after parging
A newly parged chamber needs time to cure before it carries heat. One maker's instructions call for an initial air cure with the damper left open, followed by a small conditioning fire, and then smaller fires for a period afterwards.
We give you the curing steps for the product we used and note them in the written record of the work. Leave the damper open during curing so room air can reach the chamber. If you are unsure about any step, ask before lighting the fire.
Chamber checks following a chimney fire
After a chimney fire, the chamber and chimney need an assessment before the fireplace is used again. One chamber product maker makes that a condition of its warranty. Sudden heat can crack parging, loosen brick above the damper and open gaps at the lowest flue tile.
If there has been one, mention it when you arrange the visit and leave the fireplace unused. We look at the chamber, the shelf and the lower flue as far as they can be seen, and say what stayed hidden. Repair options follow what the assessment finds, and each is priced on its own line.
Chamber records kept for a home in Imperial Point
Once chamber work in Imperial Point is finished, the written record lists the product used, the areas covered, the shelf work and the curing steps. It also notes anything outside the job that we saw, such as damper wear or a cracked lowest tile.
Store it with any other papers about the fireplace. If someone else works on the fireplace later, the record answers questions nobody could otherwise settle from the room. It also helps us if you contact us about the chamber again.
Chamber prices set out before work starts
Upfront pricing on chamber work means each line carries its figure before you approve it. Cleaning, resetting brick, the coating, shelf repair and any rebuild are priced separately. You can see which parts drive the total and which you could leave for later.
There are no hidden fees added at the end. If something unexpected appears once the chamber is clean, work stops until we have explained it and you have agreed a price for it. The final invoice matches the approved lines and any changes you accepted.

More about smoke chamber repair in Imperial Point
Is there a discount on chamber work after the free inspection?
Yes. Chamber work you approve within 72 hours of your own free inspection is 10% off. The estimate shows the figure before you decide, and nothing is scheduled until you agree to it.
Do you use ordinary mortar for small chamber repairs?
No. The code calls for refractory mortar on the chamber's inside surface, and ordinary masonry mortar is made for other conditions. Even small patches use a refractory product suited to the chamber, and the estimate names it.
How do you protect the room during chamber repair in Imperial Point?
The hearth, surround and nearby floor are covered before work starts, and mortar is mixed outside. Droppings are cleared as we go. When the job ends, debris is hauled away and the firebox is left ready for curing.
