You should now get hold of your chimney sweep, if you haven't already done this, to come and clean the old fireplace and chimney. They will not only make certain your chimney and flue are clean, but they can additionally investigate the state of the flue liner and existing chimney and offer guidance if you need to replace any part of the chimney and flu, such as the flue liner.

After a chimney sweep examination it may be required to install a new liner and/or strengthen the chimney breast as laid down in Part J of the Building Regulations. A reputable fireplace installer in Prestatyn will be needed to accomplish this work, and will need the knowledge and skills in construction to closely follow all building regulations.
