PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you are an enthusiastic and competent do-it-yourselfer it may be possible to restore an existing blocked or bricked-up fireplace, but the probability of running into structural problems in most cases is high. If you're fortunate when you open up a blocked up fireplace you may find a decent hearth, chimney breast and lintel that involves little more than the services and advice of a chimney sweep to get it ready for use. More likely you'll come across a blocked flue and crumbling brickwork that requires structural modifications.

If fireplaces are installed improperly there's not just a risk of fire to your property, but there can also be associated health hazards, which is why it is better to employ a competent Redcar installation team for fireplaces. A major factor of Part J of the Building Regulations for fireplaces is that sufficient oxygen is available in a room for a fire to burn efficiently and properly. Toxic carbon monoxide fumes can build up from a fire burning inefficiently in a poorly ventilated space.

To overcome this issue a professional installation team will evaluate the situation and fit vents in the room, or underneath the flooring, to ensure an adequate airflow for the fire to burn effectively and safely. To prevent condensed air becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and creating staining and damp spots, vents may have to be installed by the installation team to increase the airflow.
