PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

A basic remodeling of a current fireplace can probably be accomplished by a skilled do-it-yourselfer, however if any building work is required there's a possibility of running into structural issues which will need to be handled professionally. If you're lucky when you open up a stopped up fireplace you may find a decent chimney breast, hearth and lintel that involves nothing other than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get it ready for a fire once more. What you'll more likely find is an area of old, crumbling bricks that hides issues such as a lintel that needs to be replaced or a blocked up chimney.

If a fireplace is installed in your home in Hyde and it isn't correctly put in, there is not only a severe risk of fire, but also of respiratory health issues. So, using a certified fireplace fitter is widely recommended. So a fire can burn properly in a room with a fireplace, there must be ample airflow to ensure sufficient amounts of oxygen. Inadequate oxygen means that the fire won't burn effectively, and a build up of carbon monoxide fumes could occur, which can lead to breathing problems or even death.

To get past this problem a professional fireplace installation team will evaluate the situation and fit vents around the room, or under the floor, to guarantee an adequate airflow for the fire to burn safely and efficiently. Blocked off and unused chimney flues might also need to have air vents installed since they can sometimes trap moist air inside them causing damp to develop inside the chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK STARTS

An enormous amount of soot and other muck can be discharged from a bricked up chimney when reopening it for restoration. It's advisable to remove any furniture, rugs and carpets from a room where you are going to uncover an old fireplace, to prevent them being affected by soot, grime and dust that will be disturbed during the fireplace installation works. If you're engaging in a full restoration of a room or house, the fireplace ought to be opened up and worked on before any decoration or plastering works are tackled. By opening up a fireplace first you will avoid any chimney soot causing damage to other parts of your renovation project, such as fresh plaster or wallpapered walls.

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL WORK

The very first item on your checklist will be to call in a professional chimney sweep. They'll not only make certain your flue and chimney are completely clean, but they can also determine the state of the chimney and flue liner and offer guidance about whether you need to replace any part of the chimney and flue.

It might be vital to install a new flue liner to comply with the UK Building Regulations, and construction work may also be needed to beef up the existing chimney and breast. These are tasks that need to be done by a competent tradesman with knowledge of the appropriate regulations and sound construction skills.

If the dimensions of the original fireplace are greater than your needs, a concrete supporting lintel will have to be installed. When your concrete lintel is in position and secure you can now proceed with the repair, updating and installation of the fireplace hearth. If the current hearth is set into the floor you will need to raise it to observe the latest building regs.
