Chimney Lining from cherry pickerWe line and maintain chimneys from Scarborough, York and Guisborough covering a large stretch of the East Coast and North Yorkshire.

Reasons for lining a chimney:

There are a number of reasons why a chimney may need lining:-

  • The flue is leaking smoke and fumes (carbon monoxide) into other rooms or parts of the building.
  • Condensation or tar are seeping through the chimney walls causing staining either outside or inside the building.
  • The flue is much too large for the type of appliance being used.
  • The flue is too cold particularly if on the outside wall and consequentially not drawing properly.
  • If the chimney was built from 1965 onwards with liners installed the wrong way up, tar and condensation leakage may occur.
  • The Old flue surface is eroded causing leakage chilling and poor up draught.
