Fireplaces Wrexham

Fireplace Fitter Wrexham Wales (LL1): A great way to add some character to any Wrexham property is by installing a brand new fireplace, or renovating an existing one. The addition of an open fire or wood burning stove for those cold winter evenings can even be less expensive than some central heating systems, so long as you've got a regular source of wood. If combined with a back boiler it can provide you with plentiful hot water at the same time.

But before you begin bashing down the walls of a bricked-up fireplace there are some essential considerations you must bear in mind to achieve an efficient and safe fireplace. Any combustible appliance in the home must conform to Part J of the UK's Building Regulations, and this covers flue linings, chimney breasts, hearths and fireplaces. Planning permission may also have to be sought before work commences if your home is listed or in a conservation area.

PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

You may be capable of doing some of the work in remodeling a blocked up fireplace if you have the skills needed, but safety and structural issues are often found which need to be resolved professionally. It might be the case that when you pull back the covering from a disused fireplace to uncover 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 once again. Much more likely you'll discover old brickwork that requires structural modifications and a blocked flue.

If fireplaces are installed incorrectly there's not just a fire risk to your property, but there can also be associated respiratory health hazards, which is why it is better to employ a certified Wrexham installation team for a fireplace. There must always be enough airflow into a room where a fireplace is installed to ensure sufficient quantities of oxygen for the fire to burn safely. Not enough oxygen means that the fire won't burn properly, and carbon monoxide could accumulate, which can cause injury or death.

It may be necessary to fit airflow vents in walls and floors to allow the fire to get adequate oxygen to burn safely and efficiently all the time. To avoid condensed air from becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and producing damp spots and staining, vents may need to be installed by the fireplace installation team to increase the airflow.

BEFORE WORK STARTS

It's amazing just how much soot and muck can accumulate inside an old fireplace and chimney and you'll not know precisely what's there until you proceed to open it up. It is good practice to remove any furniture, carpets and rugs from an area where you are planning to open up an old fireplace, to prevent them being damaged by grime, soot and dust that might be disturbed during the fireplace installation and chimney cleaning works. If you are installing a fireplace as part of an overall home restoration project then it should be one of the first things to be completed once you have got the room back to bare floors and walls. This should help to avoid any staining damage by soot and dirt to any previously completed work.

STRUCTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION WORK

Now that you are able to see the fireplace opening it is time to clean and sweep the chimney and hearth and figure out what can be restored. Bringing in a proper chimney sweep to de-soot your chimney will be one of the very first items on your checklist. A chimney sweep will first clean the flue and whilst doing this will be able to check the condition of the chimney and provide you with advice on whether a new flue liner is required.

It may be necessary to install a new flue liner to observe the current UK Building Regulations, and work may also be needed to strengthen the existing chimney and breast. These are projects that require a capable tradesman with a knowledge of the appropriate building regs and quality construction skills.

In older buildings you may find the existing fireplace is too large for your needs, in which case a concrete supporting lintel will be necessary to modify the opening. When your new concrete lintel is in place and secure you can now proceed with the updating, repair and installation of the fireplace hearth. In the old days the hearth was usually set into a void in the floor, but current building regs require it to be raised above floor level. There are made to measure solutions to fit pretty much any design and size of fireplace, or you can choose from a range of popular size and shape hearths to fit in with your decor.

STYLES OF FIREPLACE

If you check out a fireplace showroom you will find that you have plenty of choice with a wide array of different choices open to you. Every fireplace will not be suitable for your chimney and flue therefore it is sensible to accept any advice and help offered by your installation team with regards to your particular circumstances.

Certain rooms and houses will be more suitable for an open fireplace than a wood burner or multi fuel stove and vice versa. For instance, a wood burning stove looks great set back in an old-fashioned inglenook fireplace, which highlights the charm and character of the stove and also deflects the heat into the room to good effect.

Even if your Wrexham property 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. An existing chimney isn't required because a stainless steel flue is fitted to the top or rear of the stove and routed through an outside wall.
