The United Kingdom's Building Regulations, Part J for combustible appliances for starters, which pertains to any work which is carried out on flue linings, chimney breasts, fireplaces and hearths.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you are a keen and competent DIY'er it might be quite possible to restore a bricked-up or closed-off fireplace, however the likelihood of encountering structural issues in most cases is high. It may be the case that when you remove the covering from an old fireplace to find a hidden gem which requires nothing more than a quick clear out and a call to a chimney sweep to get a roaring fire going. However, a flue that is blocked and crumbling, old brickwork that needs to be structurally reinforced is what you're most likely to find.

There must always be a decent air flow into a room where there's a fireplace to guarantee adequate quantities of oxygen enable the fire to burn properly. Toxic carbon monoxide fumes can soon accumulate from a fire burning inefficiently in a poorly ventilated space.

To ensure adequate oxygen levels are able to reach the fire, and to safely overcome any airflow problems, vents could be fitted around the room as part of a fireplace installation. Blocked off and unused chimney flues may also need to have air vents fitted since they can trap moist air inside them causing damp to develop inside the chimney.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS

When you are re-opening an unused fireplace for refurbishing, you might be surprised by the amount of soot and dust that has accumulated there. It is sensible to remove any carpets, furniture and rugs from a room where you are going to expose an old fireplace, to avoid them being affected by soot, dirt and dust that might be disturbed during the fireplace installation and chimney cleaning work. If it's only part of a larger home refurbishment project, re-opening an unused fireplace ought to be one of the initial tasks that you do, due to the mess involved. If other work has already been completed, this could be affected by soot and other chimney dust.

CONSTRUCTION & STRUCTURAL WORK

You'll get a better idea about the refurbishment work that's needed, when the opening up of the old fireplace is complete. You'll also be in a position to get the chimney swept and clean any of the hearth that has survived. You should now get hold of your chimney sweep, if you've not already done this, to come and clean the old fireplace and chimney. A professional chimney sweep will first of all clean the flue and whilst doing this will inspect the condition of the chimney and provide you with advice on whether a new flue liner is necessary.

It may be necessary to fit a new flue liner to conform to the UK Building Regulations, and construction may also be required to beef up the existing chimney and chimney breast. A qualified tradesperson who is familiar with the Building Regs and good working practices will be needed to carry out this kind of work.

It is by no means a given that the dimensions of the exposed fireplace will tie in with the design that you have in mind, in which case it will be necessary to lay a new concrete supporting lintel. Once you have successfully supported the fireplace with your lintel it will then be necessary to update or renovate the hearth. The latest regulations say that the fireplace hearth must be raised slightly above the normal floor level, although in the old days it would normally have been sunk into the floor. You could think about asking your fireplace builder in Molescroft about a bespoke, made to measure hearth that will fit in with your home's design and style, or if your fireplace is of a standard size, there is a wide selection of ready-made options in marble, concrete and stone.
