There are a few things that you will have to do to make sure you can safely install your new fireplace, before you start to prise away at a blocked chimney. All work carried out must observe Part J of the UK's Building Regulations, which addresses the construction and installation of flue linings, hearths, fireplaces and chimney breasts of any combustible appliance. If you live in a listed building you will also need to find out if planning permission is required from the local council before any work is started.

PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION OR DIY?

If you are a keen DIY'er it might be quite possible to refurbish a blocked or bricked-up fireplace, however the chance of experiencing structural issues in many cases is unfortunately high. You might be fortunate when exposing your old fireplace and find out you need little more than a thorough chimney sweep and a quick clean out of the hearth to get your fire roaring. What is more typical however is an area of old brickwork that hides a blocked flue, and also requires some form of structural reinforcement before it can be safely used.

If your property in Chadwell St Mary has a fireplace installed and it isn't put in correctly, there isn't only a risk or fire, but also of respiratory health problems. So, using a certified fireplace installer is widely recommended. There must always be enough airflow into a room or space where there is a fireplace to ensure adequate quantities of oxygen enable the fire to burn effectively. A deficiency of oxygen means the fire won't burn effectively, and a build up of carbon monoxide could occur, which can cause breathing problems or even death.

It could be necessary to fit airflow vents in floors and walls to allow the fireplace to receive adequate oxygen to burn safely and properly all the time. To avoid condensed air becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and producing damp spots and staining, flue vents might need to be installed by the fireplace installation team to enhance the airflow.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES

A huge amount of soot and other dirt can be discharged from an old chimney upon opening it up for renovation. To ensure that your possessions do not get impaired by the grime, soot and dust that's discharged during work by a fireplace installer, removing furniture, carpets and rugs beforehand is highly recommended. When it is merely part of a larger renovation project, the opening up of a disused fireplace should be one of the initial things to be worked on, because of the mess involved. This should prevent damage to other phases of your restoration project (i.e. newly painted walls or fresh plaster), by soot and dirt that's released.

CONSTRUCTION & STRUCTURAL WORK

With the fireplace now open, it's time to find out what needs to be renovated or replaced and to give the chimney and hearth an intensive clean. This will be the perfect time to contact a professional Chadwell St Mary chimney sweep to see if it's convenient to come and take a look at your chimney and fireplace. Apart from sweeping and cleaning the chimney and flue, they will also assess the condition of the flue liner and chimney and tell you about any part of the flue and chimney structure that needs to be replaced.

Following a chimney sweeps examination it may be necessary to install a new liner and/or strengthen the chimney breast in accordance with Part J of the Building Regulations. These are projects that require a competent craftsman with a good understanding of the applicable regulations and quality construction skills.

If it is necessary to modify the size of opening of your original fireplace to something smaller and more suitable for your new design, a supporting concrete lintel must be put in. When your lintel is safely in position you can now get on with the installation, upgrade and renovation of the hearth. To stay in line with the current UK Building Regulations, any hearth needs to be set slightly above the normal floor level, although you may discover that your hearth is sunken into the floor, as they frequently were in days past. Ready-made solutions from slate, marble or stone are available to achieve this, or your fireplace builder in Chadwell St Mary should be able to offer a bespoke, custom-made hearth to fit in with the design of your room.

To enable you to pick a fireplace that goes with your home decor, and is also suited to your existing flue and chimney, it is advised that you listen to the recommendations of the fireplace installation team.

Whether you decide on an open fireplace, a multi-fuel stove or a wood burner will depend on the look that you are seeking to develop, your current decor and perhaps even, the age of your house in Chadwell St Mary.
