Fireplace Fitter Warminster Wiltshire (BA12): Putting in a brand new fireplace or re-opening an old disused fireplace in your Warminster property is a splendid way to add charm and a homely feel to any room. Adding a multi-fuel stove or open fire for those frosty winters' evenings can even prove less expensive than certain central heating systems, so long as you have a regular source of wood. If combined with a back boiler it can provide you with plentiful steaming hot water in the process.
There are some vital things to consider before you commence any work, if you are to create an efficient, safe and attractive fireplace in your home. All work carried out must follow Part J of the UK's Building Regulations, which addresses the construction and installation of fireplaces, flue linings, chimney breasts and hearths of any combustible appliance. If you reside in a designated conservation area or a listed building you must check with local authorities to see if planning permission is needed for installing a fireplace in your property.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?
If you are a competent and enthusiastic do-it-yourselfer it may be possible to refurbish an existing bricked-up fireplace, however the chances of experiencing structural problems in most cases is high. You could be lucky when exposing your old fireplace and find you need little more than a decent chimney sweep and a quick clean up of the hearth to get a fire roaring. Much more likely you will come across a blocked flue and old brickwork that requires structural reinforcement.
Due to the severe fire risk and health issues that can result from a poorly installed or renovated fireplace, it is preferable to avail yourself of the experience and knowledge of a skilled fireplace installer in Warminster. There must always be airflow into a room where there's a fireplace to ensure adequate amounts of oxygen allow the fire to burn effectively. If the airflow is not sufficient then it's possible that a fire will not burn efficiently and cause carbon monoxide to build up, which can be lethal.
It could be necessary to install airflow vents in walls and floors to allow the fireplace to receive enough oxygen to burn safely and properly all the time. Unused and blocked up chimney flues may also need to have air vents fitted as they can often trap moist air inside them and cause damp to develop inside the chimney breast.

BEFORE WORK STARTS
It's astonishing just how much soot and dirt can accumulate inside an old chimney and fireplace and you won't know what's there until you uncover it. It's advisable to remove any furniture, carpets and rugs from a room where you're going to open up an old fireplace, to prevent them from being affected by soot, grime and dust that will be whipped up during the fireplace installation works. If you're lucky enough to be working on a complete renovation project then it should be one of the first tasks to complete before you re-plaster or decorate the walls. This should help to avoid any discolouring damage by soot and dirt to any completed restoration work.
STRUCTURAL & CONSTRUCTION WORK
With your fireplace now open, it is time to see what can be renovated or replaced and give the chimney and hearth a good cleaning. You now ought to contact your chimney sweep, if you haven't already done so, to come and clean the old chimney and fireplace. They will not only make sure your chimney and flue are nice and clean, but they can additionally determine the state of the chimney and flue liner and offer guidance about whether you need to replace any part of the chimney structure and flue.
It could be necessary to put in a new flue lining to conform to the all important Building Regulations, and construction work might also be required to strengthen the original chimney and chimney breast. This kind of work needs to be tackled by a skilled tradesman who is acquainted with the building regulations and decent working practices.
If the dimensions of the original fireplace are greater than your requirements, a supporting concrete lintel will have to be put in. When your new concrete lintel is in place and secure you may now proceed with the repair, installation and updating of the fireplace hearth. In the past the hearth was sunken into a hole in the floor, but the current building regulations require it to be raised above floor level. If your fireplace isn't of a standard size you may have to choose a tailor-made hearth, but there are a wide range of ready to fit hearths in marble, slate or concrete.

DESIGNS AND STYLES OF FIREPLACE
Choosing your perfect fireplace can be challenging amongst the various designs and styles that are available from a fireplace showroom or online retailer. The suggestions and advice from your sales and installation team, which will hinge on your particular requirements, will enable you to pick a fireplace that is both appropriate for your chimney and flue, and suited to your decor.
Some homes and rooms will look better with an open fireplace than a wood burner or multi fuel stove and vice versa. For example, an inglenook fireplace can be a wonderful backdrop for a traditional cast iron wood burning stove, which highlights its charm and reflects the heat into the room.
If your Warminster home hasn't got a chimney breast you've still got the option of a fireplace feature through the installation of a multi-fuel or wood burning stove. A pre-existing chimney isn't required as a stainless steel flue is fitted to the rear or top of the stove and routed through an exterior wall.
