DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

You might be capable of doing some of the work in renovating a bricked-up fireplace if you have the skills needed, but safety and structural issues are often discovered which need to be resolved by a professional. It might be your good fortune when you remove the covering from a disused fireplace to uncover a hidden gem that needs nothing more than a quick clean and a call to a chimney sweep to get a roaring fire going once again. What you will more likely discover is a wall of old, crumbling bricks that hides issues such as a lintel that needs replacing or a blocked up chimney.

An improperly installed fireplace can cause significant respiratory health problems and fire risk and should only be fitted by a professional fireplace specialist in Sunbury-on-Thames with the knowledge and experience to install it safely. Airflow must be satisfactory in any room that a fireplace is to be installed; and it's a requirement in the Building Regulations that this is so. Lethal carbon monoxide can soon accumulate from a fire burning inefficiently in a poorly ventilated space.

To safely overcome any problems with air flow, vents may be installed around the room as part of a fireplace installation, to ensure suitable oxygen levels reach the fire. Unused and blocked up chimney flues might also need to have air vents installed because they can trap moist air inside them causing damp to occur inside the chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES
