Fireplace Fitter Wombourne Staffordshire (WV5): Fitting a brand new fireplace or opening up an old disused fireplace in your Wombourne property is an excellent way to add a homely feel and some charm to any room. The addition of an open fire or wood burning stove for those cold winter evenings can even prove to be cheaper than certain central heating systems, so long as you've got a good source of timber. If used in combination with a back boiler it can provide you with plenty of steaming hot water in the process.

There are some vital considerations to make before you commence any work, if you are going to create an efficient, safe and attractive fireplace in your home. All work carried out must observe Part J of the UK's Building Regulations, which addresses the construction and installation of chimney breasts, fireplaces, flue linings and hearths of any combustible appliance. If you live in a listed building or are in a designated conservation area you should check with the local council if planning permission is needed for installing a fireplace in your home.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you're an enthusiastic and competent DIY'er it might be possible to renovate an existing blocked up fireplace, however the likelihood of experiencing structural problems in the majority of cases is high. It could be that in order to get a fire burning in your fireplace once more you need little more than a quick clean of the hearth and a sweep of the chimney. It's much more likely that you'll discover a blocked flue and crumbling brickwork that needs structural modifications.

A wrongly fitted fireplace can cause significant fire risk and respiratory health problems and, as such, should only be fitted by a professional fireplace specialist in Wombourne with the knowledge and experience to do the work safely. There must always be airflow into a room where there's a fireplace to guarantee adequate amounts of oxygen allow the fire to burn effectively. Toxic carbon monoxide can soon accumulate from a fire burning inefficiently in an inadequately ventilated room.

It may be necessary to fit airflow vents in walls and floors to allow the fire to receive adequate oxygen to burn properly and safely at all times. They may have to fit vents into unused chimney flues which sometimes trap condensing air and cause damp spots and staining to your chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS

It is surprising just how much soot and dirt can build up inside an old chimney and fireplace and you won't know what is there until you uncover it. Even with covers and other dust protection for your furniture, the risk of damage from dirt and soot is still possible and it's advisable to remove your furniture, rugs and carpets before any fireplace renovation work and chimney cleaning commences. If your fireplace is being installed as part of an overall restoration project then it ought to be one of the initial things to be completed after you have brought the room back to bare walls and floors. By opening a fireplace first you'll prevent any soot from the chimney causing damage to other stages of your project, such as fresh plasterwork or wallpapered walls.

STRUCTURAL & CONSTRUCTION WORK

Now you can see the fireplace opening it is time to clean and sweep the hearth and chimney and identify what is fit for refurbishment. The first thing on your checklist will be to contact a competent chimney sweep. A chimney sweep will first of all clean the flue and while doing so will be able to inspect the condition of the chimney and provide advice on whether a new flue liner is required.

It may be vital to fit a new flue lining to conform to the UK Building Regulations, and construction work may also be needed to reinforce the original chimney and chimney breast. These are jobs that require a skilled builder with knowledge of the applicable building regs and quality construction skills.

If it is necessary to change the size of opening of your original fireplace to a more suitable size for your new design, a supporting lintel will have to be put in. When your new lintel is safely in place you can now press on with the installation, repair and updating of the fireplace hearth. If the existing hearth is sunken into the floor you'll need to raise it above floor level to comply with the latest regulations. Pre-made solutions from marble, slate or concrete are available on the market to accomplish this, or your fireplace fitter in Wombourne may be able to offer you a bespoke, custom-made hearth to fit in with your room style.

DESIGNS OF FIREPLACE

If you go to a fireplace showroom you'll find that you are spoilt for choice with the array of different choices available to you. It's entirely possible that owing to your current chimney, flue and airflow to the room, that some fireplaces might not be appropriate, and it's a good idea to follow the recommendations from your fireplace installation company with respect to this.

You home's age, and the theme you're trying to create for your room, should all help you to decide on the type and design of fireplace that is most suitable for you. For instance, an inglenook fireplace can be an ideal backdrop for a classic cast iron wood-burner stove, which highlights its charm and deflects the heat into the room.

Even if you don't have a pre-existing chimney breast in your Wombourne property, it's still possible to install a multi-fuel or wood burning stove. An existing chimney isn't needed because the flue is taken directly from the rear or top of the stove and taken out through an external wall.
