When is a flue liner required?


A flue liner is required in the following circumstances:

  1. The chimney stack is prone to leaking smoke & fumes (i.e. failed a smoke test)
  2. Tar/creosote build up is excessive between sweeps
  3. Diameter of the inside of stack is too large for the appliance
  4. Smoke and fumes are not being sufficiently drawn up the chimney
  5. You are installing a new appliance where there is an existing steel liner, and it's age or condition is unknown (typical lifespan of older liners might only be 10 -15 years)
  6. If insulation is needed to improve the operation of the appliance
  7. The stack has irregular internal surfaces, making it prone to bird nesting

Chimney liner installation

Chimney Liner Installation

Installation main points

Before installation, ensure your chimney stack is swept and is clear of any debris, as it may interfere with the performance of the liner.

It is essential that the arrows on the side of the flue are facing in the upwardsposition .

The flexi liner cannot be fitted directly to your appliance and must be connected via an adaptor that can be purchased separately.

Once installed, it is important to remember that all such work must be visually inspected as per the UK Building Regulations, Document J .

Do a smoke test to ensure that they are completely smoke-tight.

Types of liner : Clay, pumice and concrete liners versus stainless steel

clay, pumice and concrete liner v stainless steel

Solid liners manufactured out of clay, pumice or concrete have the advantage of durability over stainless steel. However, they are difficult and costly to retro-fit into an existing chimney, and are therefore more suitable for new build projects.

Chimney maintenance and cleaning

chimney maintenance

Flues should be swept before winter use, and ideally again at the end of the winter heating season. Sweeping brushes and rods must be used (not chemicals, which may invalidate warranty) and we recommend using a qualified chimney sweep. If possible, perform a smoke test to ensure there are no leaks.

Standard operating temperature is 450°C for solid materials and 250°C for gas and oil; operating in excess of this may damage liners.
