DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you've got the ability needed, and are good at do-it-yourself you might be capable of doing some of the restoration work on an old or existing fireplace, but the help of a tradesman might be required if structural issues arise during the process. When you uncover the old fireplace, you could be lucky and find that in order to get a fire roaring once more, it needs nothing more than a thorough clean up of the hearth and a sweep of the chimney. If you are not so lucky, you will discover a crumbling wall of bricks that's hiding a series of issues, like a broken old lintel or a blocked chimney.

An improperly installed fireplace can cause severe fire risk and respiratory health problems and, as such, should only be fitted by a professional fireplace specialist in Barton-upon-Humber with the experience and knowledge to do the work effectively. Airflow has to be adequate in any room which has a fireplace; and it's a requirement in the Building Regulations that this is so. Carbon monoxide gas can build-up in an inadequately ventilated area where an inefficently burning fire is installed.

To ensure a sufficient air flow for the fire to combust safely and effectively, a professional fireplace installation company will evaluate the circumstances and fit vents in locations around the room, or underneath the floors, thus resolving this problem. To prevent condensed air from becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and producing staining and damp spots, vents may need to be installed by the installation team to increase the airflow.
