Why does a chimney need a liner?

A liner provides a contained, insulated passage for flue gases, improving safety and efficiency. It also protects the chimney masonry from heat and corrosive byproducts.

How long does a chimney liner last?

Quality stainless steel liners typically come with 15 to 25 year guarantees and can last even longer with proper maintenance.

Can a liner be fitted to any chimney?

In most cases, yes. We assess the chimney condition and dimensions to select the right liner type. Some very old or damaged chimneys may need additional preparation.

How long does liner fitting take?

Most liner installations are completed within a day, often in a few hours.

Do I need a liner for a woodburning stove?

It is strongly recommended and often required by building regulations. A liner ensures safe operation and improves stove performance.
