Fireplaces Balderton

Fireplace Fitter Balderton Nottinghamshire (NG24): If you're sick and tired of soaring energy prices and want to find another way to heat your home in Balderton, why don't you open up that unused fireplace and put in a budget friendly wood burning, multi-fuel or open fire? If your fireplace is integrated with a back boiler you can even enjoy free hot water as well. Cool winter's evenings can become very enjoyable as you sit in front of your fireplace listening to the crackling of firewood.

There are some crucial considerations you must bear in mind to achieve a safe and efficient fireplace, before you commence knocking down the walls of a blocked up fireplace. All work carried out must adhere to Part J of the UK Building Regulations, which addresses the construction and installation of fireplaces, hearths, chimney breasts and flue linings of any heat producing appliance. You'll also want to check with the local council if planning permission is required before any work can commence, if you live in a listed building or a designated conservation area in Balderton.

PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION OR DIY?

You may be capable of doing some of the restoration work on a bricked-up fireplace if you've got the ability to do so, but structural and safety problems are often discovered that need to be resolved by a professional. If you're lucky when you open up a blocked up fireplace you might find a decent chimney breast, hearth and lintel that requires nothing other than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get it ready for a fire once more. However, what you will more likely discover is an area of crumbling, old bricks that conceals issues such as a blocked chimney or a lintel that needs replacing.

If a fireplace is installed incorrectly there is not only a risk of fire to your property, but there can be associated respiratory health hazards, which is why it is best to bring in a professional Balderton installation team for a fireplace. So a fire can burn safely in a room with a fireplace, there must be plenty of airflow to guarantee a good level of oxygen. Carbon monoxide gas can build-up and become a problem in an inadequately ventilated space where a fire that is burning inefficiently is installed.

To ensure adequate levels of oxygen are able to reach the fire at all times, and to safely overcome any issues with air flow, vents may be fitted in the room during the installation of a fireplace. Condensing air can often get trapped within unused chimney flues which might also require improved ventilation, to prevent issues with dampness and staining in the chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES

Chimney breasts are notorious for the volume of grime and soot that can accumulate within them, thus when you set out to open up a disused fireplace you can assume that it will be an extremely messy operation. So that the carpets, furniture and rugs in an area do not get affected by the muck and soot that is emitted during work by a fireplace installer, it's good practice to have them removed beforehand. If you're fortunate enough to be working on a complete renovation project then it should be one of the initial jobs to focus on before you re-plaster or decorate the walls. This helps to prevent any staining damage to any refurbished work you have already finished.

STRUCTURAL & CONSTRUCTION WORK

Now that you can see the fireplace opening it is time to clean and sweep the hearth and chimney and identify what can be refurbished. This will be the ideal time to get hold of a local Balderton chimney sweep to find out if it is convenient to come and examine your fireplace and chimney. After cleaning and sweeping, they will be able to offer professional advice about what kind of condition your chimney structure and flue liner is in, and tell you whether there are parts that need to be replaced.

After a chimney sweep's examination it may be required to install a new liner and/or strengthen the chimney breast in accordance with Part J of the Building Regulations. This kind of work must be done by a skilled craftsman who is familiar with the relevant Building Regs and decent working practices.

In an older building a steel or concrete lintel might be needed to adapt the size of the opening, if it's found that the exposed fireplace is too big for your planned design. As soon as you have supported your fireplace with a lintel it is now possible to upgrade or repair the hearth. In days past the hearth was sunken into a hole in the floor, however current Building Regulations for the UK demand that it's raised at least 12.5mm above normal floor level. You will find that there is an array of off-the-shelf hearths in granite, marble or slate, but if your fireplace is not of a standard size you may have to go for a made to measure hearth, which you should ask your Balderton fireplace builder about.

FIREPLACE DESIGNS AND STYLES

You'll quickly realise that you're spoiled for choice in regards to fireplaces, with the wide range of choices that are available to you, as soon as enter a quality fireplace dealership. The suggestions and advice from your sales and installation team, which will hinge on your specific requirements, will help you to pick a fireplace which is both perfect for your existing flue and chimney, and suited to your home's decor.

Your existing decor, the look that you're attempting to create and perhaps even, the age of your property in Balderton, will to some extent affect whether you go with an open fireplace, a multi-fuel stove or a wood burner. For instance, an inglenook fireplace can be an ideal backdrop to an old-fashioned cast iron wood burning stove, highlighting its charm and deflecting heat back into the room.

You've still got possibilities for a fireplace feature by installing a wood burner stove, even if your Balderton home does not have a chimney breast. Your fireplace specialist can take a stainless steel flue straight from the top or rear of the wood burner and out through an exterior wall, therefore a chimney is not necessary.

Flue Liners

Put in to improve the safety and efficiency of your chimney structure, a flue liner is vital and should not be omitted whatever the circumstances. With the purpose of transporting toxic fumes to the outside of a property, flue liners are conduits made from ceramic material, clay or metal that are fitted to the inside of chimneys. Some chimneys in older properties in Balderton might not even be fitted with a liner, or if the current liner is damaged, might have to be re-lined.

The flue of your chimney can be eaten away and harmed and damaged by the toxic gases and fumes that form whilst a fire is burning. The perfect time to check for damage and potential problems is whilst your chimney is being swept and cleaned - so you should ask your sweep to do this for you. You need to stop those harmful gases from leaking into your living area, which is exactly what can transpire when a flue is impaired. When a flue liner is damaged it can expose the chimney structure to intense heat, which can increase the risk of a house fire occurring.

Natural Stone Fireplaces

For that really spectacular look why not consider bringing the outside in with a stone fireplace? The exterior areas of your building might already have stone boundary walls, a stone facade, or some other natural stone features. These pleasing external features could be complemented by your open fireplace on the inside.

A stone fireplace can be created using either full-depth stone or stone cladding. Your budget and taste could determine which of these you choose. Also, quartz, limestone, sandstone, marble, granite or slate can be used to construct a stone fireplace.

The exact appearance of your new fireplace will depend on the methodology used by the tradesman or stonemason who builds it, the kind of stone that is used and the method of building (dry stone or mortar built). Take a look around the internet and find some designs that you like, and you can show these to your fireplace builder before they get to work.

A lot of contemporary properties aren't really suited to the look of a stone fireplace, mostly because stone has such a striking appearance, and can dominate the look of a room. However, each individual property owner has their own taste and preferences, so it is for them to choose.
