Fireplace Fitter Mirfield West Yorkshire (WF14): Opening up an old disused fireplace to fit a wood burner, a gas fire or an open fire is a wonderful way to add some character and a homely feel to any Mirfield property. Chilly winter evenings can become a joy as you relax beside your fireplace surrounded by the crackle of firewood, and if your fire is used in combination with a back boiler you can even enjoy a plentiful supply of hot water as well.

There are some vital things you must think about before you begin any work, if you are going to establish an efficient, safe and attractive fireplace in your house. Any work that's carried out on your flue lining, hearth, chimney breast and fireplace must comply with the United Kingdom's Part J Building Regs for combustible appliances. If you own a listed building you will also need to find out if planning permission is necessary from the local council before any work commences.

PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

A basic restoration of a current fireplace can probably be completed by a keen DIY person, but if any building work is needed there is a possibility of running into structural issues which will have to be dealt with by a professional. If you are lucky when you open up a stopped up fireplace you might find a decent lintel, chimney breast and hearth that needs nothing other than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get it ready for a fire once more. It's much more likely that you will come across crumbling brickwork that needs structural reinforcement and a stopped up flue.

An improperly fitted fireplace can cause severe respiratory health problems and fire risk and should only be put in by a professional fireplace specialist in Mirfield with the knowledge and experience to do the work effectively. According to the Building Regulations, a room that has a fireplace installed in it must have enough airflow and oxygen for the fire to burn properly. Carbon monoxide fumes (which are toxic can accumulate in an inadequately ventilated space where an inefficently burning fire is installed.

It could be necessary to fit airflow vents in floors and walls to allow the fire to get ample oxygen to burn efficiently and safely all the time. Unused and blocked up chimney flues may also need to have air vents fitted because they can sometimes trap moist air within them causing damp to occur inside the chimney.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS

Opening up an old fireplace can create large amounts of dust and soot. It's advisable to remove any rugs, carpets and furniture from an area where you are planning to expose an old fireplace, to prevent them being affected by dust, grime and soot that may be whipped up during the fireplace installation and chimney cleaning work. If you are performing a full renovation of a house or room, the fireplace ought to be opened up before any plastering or decorating is dealt with. By opening up a fireplace first you'll avoid any chimney soot causing damage to other stages of your project, such as paint on walls or fresh plaster.

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL WORK

With the fireplace revealed, it's time to see what can be renovated or replaced and to give the chimney and hearth a thorough cleaning. The very first job on your agenda should be to bring in a competent chimney sweep. They will be willing to offer professional advice on the flue and chimney after sweeping, regarding the state of the chimney structure and if you need to upgrade the existing liner.

If it is necessary to strengthen the chimney or install a flue lining all relevant UK Building Regulations must be adhered to. A reliable fireplace installer in Mirfield will be needed to complete this work, and should have the knowledge and skills in construction to closely follow all regulations.

If it is necessary to change the size of opening of your existing fireplace to a more suitable size for your design, a supporting concrete lintel will have to be put in. When your new lintel is in position and secure you can now get on with the repair, installation and updating of the fireplace hearth. If the current hearth is sunken into the floor you will need to raise it above floor level to conform to the latest building regulations. If your fireplace is of non-standard size you may have to choose a made to measure hearth, however there are a whole host of "off-the-shelf" hearths in concrete, slate or marble.
