However before you start smashing down the walls of a boarded over fireplace there are some vital things to consider to achieve an efficient and safe fireplace. Any work which is done on your chimney breast, flue lining, hearth and fireplace must adhere to the Building Regs, Part J for combustible appliances. If you reside in a listed building you will also have to find out if planning permission is necessary from the local council before any work is started.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

A basic restoration of a current fireplace can probably be completed by a keen DIY person, but if any building work is necessary there is a chance of running into structural issues that will need to be resolved professionally. It may be your good fortune when you remove the boarding surrounding an old fireplace to uncover a hidden treasure that needs nothing more than a quick clear out and a call to a chimney sweep to get a fire roaring once again. It's much more likely that you'll discover crumbling brickwork that needs structural modifications and a stopped up flue.

Due to the serious fire risk and health issues that can be caused by an incorrectly installed or renovated fireplace, it is preferable to draw on the knowledge and experience of a certified fireplace fitter in Darlaston. Airflow must be adequate in any room which has a fireplace; in fact it is a requirement in Part J of the Building Regulations that this is the case. A deficiency of oxygen means that the fire will not burn effectively, and an accumulation of carbon monoxide fumes could occur, which can cause injury or death.

To successfully overcome any airflow problems, vents may need to be fitted in the room during a fireplace installation, to ensure suitable oxygen levels reach the fire. Blocked off and unused chimney flues may also need to have air vents installed since they can often trap moist air within them causing damp to occur inside the chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES

It's astonishing just how much soot and dust can build up inside an old fireplace and chimney and you'll not know precisely what is there until you proceed to open it up. Even with coverings for your furniture, the chance of damage from dust and soot is still possible and it is advised to remove your furniture and carpets before any fireplace renovation work and chimney cleaning commences. If you're engaging in a full restoration of a room or house, the fireplace ought to be opened up and worked on before any decoration or plastering works are dealt with. This should help to avoid any impairment by dirt and chimney soot to any previously completed restoration work.

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL WORK

Once you've revealed your old fireplace you'll have a better understanding of the work that needs to be done, and also be able to thoroughly sweep the chimney and clean up any parts of hearth that can be re-used. Bringing in a proper chimney sweep to clean your chimney is one of the initial things on your agenda. A chimney sweep will first clean the flue and while doing so will be able to inspect the condition of the chimney and provide you with guidance on whether a new flue liner is required.

Following a chimney sweep examination it may be required to strengthen the chimney breast or install a new flue liner in accordance with Part J of the UK Building Regulations. These are tasks that should be done by a competent builder with a good understanding of the applicable regulations and quality construction skills.

If the dimensions of the existing fireplace are bigger than your requirements, a supporting concrete lintel will need to be put in. When you've successfully supported the fireplace with your lintel it is now time to repair or update the hearth. If the current hearth is sunken into the floor you will have to raise it to comply with the latest building regs. If your fireplace isn't of a standard size you may have to choose a tailor-made hearth, but there are a wide range of "off-the-shelf" hearths in slate, marble or concrete.
