Before you go chipping away at a bricked-up chimney there are a few things you'll need to think about to ensure you can install your new fireplace in an efficient and safe way.

PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

You might be capable of doing some of the renovation work on an existing fireplace if you have the ability to do so, but there is always a problem in finding safety and structural issues which need to be resolved by a specialist. It might be that in order to get a fire burning once more you'll need little more than a quick clean of the hearth and a sweeping of the chimney. What is more typical however is an area of old, crumbling brickwork covering a stopped up flue, and needs some form of structural reinforcement before it can be used safely.

Owing to the acute fire risk and health issues that can be caused by an improperly fitted or renovated fireplace, it is advisable to draw on the experience and knowledge of a skilled fireplace fitter in Yarm. According to the Building Regulations, a room that has a fireplace installed in it must have ample airflow and oxygen for the fire to burn correctly. A fire won't burn efficiently if there is not enough oxygen, and death or serious injury could occur when there's a build-up of carbon monoxide fumes.

To safely get over any airflow issues, vents might be installed in the room during a fireplace installation, to ensure suitable levels of oxygen are able to reach the fire. To prevent condensed air becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and creating damp spots and staining, vents may have to be installed by the fireplace installation team to improve the airflow.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS

Opening up an old fireplace can cause large amounts of grime and soot to enter your house. Even with dust sheets for your home furnishings, the likelihood of impairment from grime and soot is still possible and it's advisable to remove your belongings and any woven materials before any fireplace renovation work and chimney cleaning commences. If you're conducting a complete renovation of a property or room, the fireplace should be opened up and worked on before any plastering or decorating is undertaken. This stops any staining damage to any refurbished work you have already done.

STRUCTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION WORK

Bringing in a proper chimney sweep to de-soot your chimney is one of the first things on the to-do-list.
