Fireplaces Hawick

Fireplace Fitter Hawick Scotland (TD9): Opening up an old disused fireplace to put in a wood burner, a gas fire or an open fire is an excellent way to add a homely feel and a bit of charm to your Hawick home. Chilly winter evenings can become very enjoyable as you sit beside your fireplace surrounded by the crackling of firewood, and if your fire is used in combination with a back boiler you can even benefit from piping hot water to boot.

There are some things you will have to do to make certain you can safely install your new fireplace, before you start prising away at a blocked chimney. Any heating appliance installed in the home must comply with Part J of the Building Regs, and this applies to hearths, chimney breasts, fireplaces and flue linings. If you live in a listed building you will also have to find out if planning permission is necessary from the local authorities before any work can commence.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you've got the skills to do so, and are good at do-it-yourself you might be able to do some of the restoration work to a pre-existing fireplace, but the help of a tradesperson might be required if structural issues arise during the process. When you uncover the old fireplace, you could be lucky and discover that in order to get a roaring fire once again, it needs nothing more than a thorough clean out of the hearth and a sweep of the chimney. What is more commonplace however is a swathe of old brickwork that conceals a blocked flue, and needs some degree of structural modification before it can be safely used.

Employing a specialist fireplace installer in Hawick is generally recommended, since an incorrectly fitted fireplace can can cause a fire risk and respiratory health issues. Ensuring that enough oxygen is available for the fire to burn correctly is a key part of the Building Regulations for fireplaces. A fire will not burn effectively in a room where there is not enough oxygen, and death could occur if carbon monoxide is produced.

A professional fireplace installation team will analyse the circumstances and overcome this problem and guarantee an adequate airflow for the fire to combust properly and safely, by fitting vents in locations around the room, or beneath the flooring. To prevent condensed air becoming trapped in unused or blocked off chimney flues and causing damp spots and staining, flue vents may have to be installed by the installation team to enhance the airflow.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES

Having a fireplace opened up can create a lot of of soot and dirt. It is sensible when possible to remove carpets and furniture from the room before any work starts, although a considerate Hawick fireplace installer will bring dust sheets to cover up your furniture and supply some form of protection. Because of the mess involved, if the fireplace installation is only part of a more extensive renovation project, it should be one of the very first tasks to be worked on after the room has been brought back to bare floors and walls in preparation. This will prevent damage to other parts of your renovation project (i.e. wallpapered walls or fresh plaster), by soot and dirt that's emitted.

CONSTRUCTION AND STRUCTURAL WORK

Once you have opened up your old fireplace you will have a far better idea of the work that is necessary, and also be able to rigorously sweep the chimney and clean any hearth that remains. This would be the ideal time to make contact with a professional Hawick chimney sweep to see if they're able to come and look at your chimney and fireplace. A chimney sweep will first of all clean the flue and whilst doing this will check the structural condition of the chimney and offer advice on whether a new flue liner is needed.

All the relevant UK Building Regulations should be adhered to, if it is necessary to install a new flue liner or strengthen the chimney. This is unlikely to be the kind of work that you can do yourself, therefore you'll have to bring in a competent builder who has experience in good construction practices and an extensive knowledge of the Building Regs.

In buildings that are older you might discover the existing fireplace is wider than your requirements, which will mean that a concrete supporting lintel will be necessary to adapt the opening. The installation, upgrade and repair of the fireplace hearth can go ahead as soon as the supporting lintel is in position. The latest UK Building Regulations demand that the fireplace hearth is raised above the level of the floor, although in past times it would have been set into a void in the floor. Ready-made solutions from marble, concrete or granite are available to achieve this, or your fireplace builder in Hawick might be able to offer a bespoke, custom-made hearth to complement the design of your room.

STYLE OF FIREPLACE

If you go to a fireplace dealership you are spoilt for choice with the wide range of different options available to you. It's quite possible that owing to your current flue, chimney and airflow to the room, that some fireplace designs might not be suitable, therefore it's a good idea to follow the recommendations from your fireplace installer in this respect.

Your existing decor, the overall look you are attempting to create and in some cases, the age of your property in Hawick, will to some extent determine if you go for an open fireplace, a multi-fuel stove or a wood burner. By way of example, the most perfect backdrop to a cast iron wood-burner stove is an inglenook fireplace, which not only highlights its elegance and charm but is also fantastic at redirecting any heat that is produced back into the room.

Even if your Hawick property doesn't have a chimney you've still got the option of a feature fireplace through the installation of a wood burning or multi fuel stove. An existing chimney isn't needed because the flue is taken straight from the top or rear of the wood burner and routed through an exterior wall.
