DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

A simple renovation of a current fireplace can generally be accomplished by a skilled do-it-yourselfer, but if any construction work is needed there is a possibility of running into structural problems which have to be handled professionally. You could be lucky when exposing your old fireplace and find you need nothing more than a decent clean up of the hearth and a chimney sweep to get a fire roaring.

As mentioned in the Building Regulations (Part J) for fireplaces, the airflow in a room must be adequate where a fireplace is installed, because in order to burn satisfactorily, a sufficient level of oxygen is needed. Dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can soon build up from a fire burning inefficiently in an inadequately ventilated space.

To effectively get over any issues with air flow, vents could be fitted in the room during a fireplace installation, to ensure suitable levels of oxygen reach the fire. To prevent condensed air becoming trapped in unused or blocked off chimney flues and creating damp spots and staining, vents might have to be fitted by the installation team to introduce some airflow.
