Fireplace Fitter Crowle Lincolnshire (DN17): Fitting a new fireplace or opening up a disused fireplace in your Crowle property is a wonderful way to add a homely feel and a bit of character to any room. Chilly winters' evenings can become very enjoyable as you relax in front of your new fireplace listening to the crackle of a burning fire, and if your fire is combined with a back boiler you can even benefit from plentiful hot water as well.
There are a few crucial things you must think about before you begin any work, in order to establish an efficient, safe and attractive fireplace in your property. Any combustible appliance in residential homes in Crowle must follow Part J of the UK's buildings regs, and this applies to hearths, chimney breasts, fireplaces and flue linings. Planning permission may also have to be sought before work begins if your property is listed or in a conservation area.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?
You may be able to do some of the work in restoring a pre-existing fireplace if you have the skills needed, but there is always a problem in finding structural and safety problems that need to be resolved professionally. If you are fortunate when you open up a boarded fireplace you may find a decent chimney breast, hearth and lintel that needs little more than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get it ready for a fire once more. However, what you'll likely discover is a wall of crumbling, old bricks that hides issues such as a lintel that needs to be replaced or a blocked up chimney.
If a fireplace is installed improperly there is not just a risk of fire to your property, but there can be associated respiratory health hazards, which is why it is better to bring in a certified Crowle installation company for fireplaces. A major part of the Building Regulations for fireplaces is that enough oxygen is available for a fire to burn safely and efficiently. Not enough oxygen means the fire will not burn well, and carbon monoxide could build up, which can cause death.
To overcome this concern a professional Crowle fireplace fitter will analyse the circumstances and install vents around the room, or beneath the flooring, to ensure a satisfactory airflow for the fire to combust effectively and safely. They might also have to fit air vents in unused chimney flues which can sometimes trap condensing air and result in damp spots and staining to your chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS
A huge amount of soot and muck can be discharged from an old fireplace when reopening it for restoration. A thoughtful Crowle fireplace fitter will bring coverings for your home furnishings and provide a bit of protection, but it's advisable where feasible to remove woven floor coverings and furniture from the room before any work commences. If you're conducting a complete restoration of a room or house, the fireplace ought to be opened up before any plastering or decorating is dealt with. By opening a fireplace first you'll prevent any soot from the chimney causing discolouration damage to other stages of your project, such as fresh plaster or paint on walls.
STRUCTURAL & CONSTRUCTION WORK
Now you can see the fireplace opening it's time to sweep and clean the chimney and hearth and see what can be refurbished. You now need to contact your chimney sweep, if you've not already done so, to come and clean the old chimney and fireplace. They will be willing to provide professional advice on the flue and chimney after sweeping, as to the situation with the structure of the chimney and if you need to upgrade the existing liner.
Following a chimney sweep examination it may be necessary to install a new liner and/or strengthen the chimney breast as laid down in Part J of the UK Building Regulations. These are jobs that need to be done by a capable tradesman with knowledge of the relevant building regs and sound construction skills.
If the size of the original fireplace is bigger than your needs, a supporting concrete lintel will need to be put in. When you've supported your fireplace with a lintel it will then be necessary to update or renovate the hearth. If the current hearth is sunken into the floor you will need to raise it above floor level to conform to the latest building regulations. Ready-made options from concrete, slate or marble are available on the market to achieve this, or your fireplace builder in Crowle may be able to offer a bespoke, made to measure hearth to fit in with the design of your room.

DESIGNS OF FIREPLACE
Choosing your ideal fireplace can be difficult amongst the many styles and designs that are available from an online retailer or fireplace showroom. The advice and suggestions from your fireplace installers, which will be specific to your requirements, will enable you to pick a fireplace that is both suitable for your chimney and flue, and suited to your home's decor.
Some homes and rooms will look better with an open fireplace than a multi-fuel stove or a wood burner and vice versa. For instance, an inglenook fireplace can be a perfect backdrop for an old-fashioned cast iron wood burning stove, highlighting its charm and deflecting heat back into the room.
A cast iron wood burner is also an excellent choice if you don't have a chimney breast in your Crowle property. Provided that you've got an exterior wall through which a flue from the back or top of the stove can be passed, you don't need a chimney in place to enjoy a real fire.
OPEN, ELECTRIC, GAS, WOOD OR MULTI-FUEL FIREPLACE?

Gas Fireplaces - Providing instant heat and more thermally efficient when compared with open fireplaces or wood burning stoves, there are a wide array of designs to suit any period of property.

Flue Linings
A flue or chimney liner is a crucial part of the chimney system on your house, allowing it to perform more efficiently than it otherwise would, and improving the overall safety of your home. Flue liners are conduits made of ceramic material, metal or clay which are installed inside chimneys to transport smoke and fumes to the outside. Subject to their condition and age, older chimneys in Crowle might need to be relined, or may not have a flue lining at all.
Dangerous fumes and gases can be generated by burning fires and these can cause damage to the flue lining of your fireplace. Make certain that your fireplace specialist examines the flue lining for damage and possible problems. If it is damaged, those harmful gases might possibly seep into your living area rather than being safely expelled outdoors. Intense heat can also be permitted to pass into the chimney's structure, creating the potential for fires.
Suggestions To Look After Your Open Fireplace And Lower Your Heating Expenses
With worries about the environment, the classic fireplace has lost some of its charm, but it is still a favourite with many householders in Crowle. The natural warmth of a fireplace invokes special recollections for those who've got them. There are many benefits to having a fireplace although there are several negative aspects that might need to be taken care of. With energy costs rising significantly year after year, your fireplace has to give out heat in a cost-effective way. When you have a fire roaring in the fireplace, it can actually take away warm air out of the room, making your heat source work harder. The fireplace damper is meant to stop cold air from coming in to your home when you don't have a fire in the fireplace. However, dampers are usually not very efficient seals, consequently a lot of the warm air escapes and allows cold air to enter the home.

Many people in Crowle who have fireplaces don't know how it can impact the cost of heating their home. As opposed to conserving resources, and heating costs, it's typically adding hundreds of pounds of energy expense. There's a simple way to take your ineffective fireplace, and turn it into a heat producing system that your budget will love. All you need to do is only 4 simple things boost the performance of your fireplace. Each of these is going to make your fireplace very cost effective and very efficient.
The first thing that must be done is to replace the damper with a new top sealing damper. This type of damper is positioned near the top of your chimney and helps to stop rain and snow from coming in. It will keep the inside air from escaping, and the outside air from entering, and works in hot weather or cold. The product is straightforward to fit, and can be obtained on the internet. Another thing you're able to do is to fit a fire-back at the rear of your fireplace. It's produced from cast iron and is used to help the overall look of your fireplace while shielding the back wall from fire damage. The fire-back takes the heat from a fire, and radiates it back into the room, increasing the efficiency of your fireplace.
Another way to save money is by using a fireplace heater/fan, which heats the space by drawing the air into a heat chamber and recycling the air back into the room. These gadgets are set up as closed systems to make sure they do not emit any smoke, but they are extremely effective in keeping your house warm. The final thing that can be done is to fit glass doors, which might be a bit on the expensive side. Hunting around, you will be able to find a bargain, and with an instruction manual, you could possibly put them in yourself. Such doors form a screen between your living space and the hearth, not only making the area less for the fire to heat, but also offering protection.
The guidance presented here is not difficult to put into action, and most of the required products can be purchased online. Try your utmost to keep your fireplace efficient and notice your heating bills plummet.
