PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

A simple restoration of a current fireplace can perhaps be accomplished by a competent DIYer, but if any construction work is needed there's a chance of running into structural problems which will have to be addressed by a professional. If you're lucky when you expose a blocked up fireplace you might find a decent hearth, lintel and chimney breast that involves little more than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get a toasty fire going. Much more likely you will come across old brickwork that requires structural modifications and a blocked flue.

Because of the serious health and fire risk problems that can be caused by an incorrectly installed or restored fireplace, it is better to draw on the experience and knowledge of a specialist fireplace fitter in Haslemere. A major part of the Building Regulations (Part J) for fireplaces is that enough oxygen is available for the fire to burn properly and efficiently. Deadly carbon monoxide fumes can soon develop from a fire burning inefficiently in a poorly ventilated space.

To overcome this issue a professional Haslemere fireplace fitter will assess the situation and install vents around the room, or beneath the floor, to ensure a satisfactory amount of air flow for the fire to combust safely and efficiently. To avoid condensed air becoming trapped in blocked off or unused chimney flues and producing damp spots and staining, vents might need to be installed by the fireplace installation team to introduce more airflow.

BEFORE WORK STARTS

It is surprising just how much soot and dirt can accumulate inside an old fireplace and you will not know what is there until you uncover it. Even with covers and other dust protection for your home furnishings, the chance of damage from muck and soot is still likely and it is advised to remove your furniture, rugs and carpets before any fireplace restoration work begins. If you're fortunate enough to be working on a complete room renovation then it should be one of the initial tasks to work on before re-plastering and decorating the walls. By opening up a fireplace first you'll avoid any soot from the chimney causing damage to other parts of your project, such as fresh plaster or paint on walls.

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL WORK

Now you can see the opening of your fireplace it's time to clean and sweep the hearth and chimney and see what can be repaired. The very first job on your agenda will be to contact a professional chimney sweep. A chimney sweep will first clean the flue and while doing this will inspect the structural condition of the chimney and offer advice on whether a new flue liner is required.
