London Chimney LinersFor all your chimney lining and repairs and much more!
Welcome to London Chimney Liners
Lining a chimney flue is strongly recommended by the GasSafe Register and HETAS for all new gas and solid fuel fireplace installations, especially in the older property. The lining we use is made of stainless steel and is the most common method of repair to a chimney where the original render lining has degraded. It proves safer than standard masonry chimney lining, has greater integrity, is more efficient and helps prevent condensation and damp. In addition, current regulations state that all chimney flues of 12 meters or more in height must be lined before any new gas or solid fuel appliances are installed.
Why Choose Us
Grades 316 and 904 chimney lining available
Grade 316 is for all standard gas, oil and solid fuel (logs, coal, anthracite etc) appliances. Grade 904 would generally be installed for slumbering purposes – that is to say, when stoves are left slow-burning coal or anthracite overnight at a low temperature. This creates condensation, especially in the upper regions of the liner. As coal and anthracite have a high acid content, this causes corrosion in the liner and grade 904 is more resistant to this. Gas and well seasoned logs do not have this problem.

When do chimneys/flues need to be lined?
When 2 or more flues have been compromised – that is to say when 2 or more flues have been joined together, because the brickwork or mortar that separates the adjacent flues has fallen out. If the flues become joined they no longer function correctly and can be dangerous.

When do chimney/flue liners and cowls need to be removed?
When you have a gas liner and you want to convert to solid fuel. As solid fuel burns at a much higher temperature than gas does, solid fuel liners are much more robust than gas liners. Therefore, although burned gas can safely pass through a solid fuel liner…

Flues supplied and installed
Twin-wall insulated flue systems are required if there is no chimney in situ. They are for external use, either through an outside wall and up the side/back of the property, or up through the building and out the roof.

Gas and solid fuel stoves installed
Since the turn of the century, we have noticed the explosion in popularity of stoves, especially for solid fuel purposes. We believe the principal reason for this, is as an alternative heat source to gas and electric. Stoves can be fitted in conjunction with a mantel or in a more minimalist style (see “Fireplace openings reinstated”).

Fireplace openings blocked and plastered
If you want your fireplace removed and the fireplace opening sealed up, we will take the fireplace out and brick up the opening for you. Then we can either plaster that area alone if the chimney breast is in reasonable condition, or replaster the whole breast.

What Client’s Say
Thank you, and your team, for undertaking what I found to be the worst task I’ve ever encountered. You all did it with cheery humour and efficiency and care, which somehow meant I almost enjoyed it.
Jonathan
Many thanks for a job well done. The dust was well contained and the guys did such a great clean up job afterwards. The opening above the fireplace was perfectly plastered, leaving us a simple lick of paint and we would never know you had even been here. The fire works beautifully and we look forward to a blazing winter!!
Phil
Just a quick note to thank you for the work recently. I also have to commend you on your team – extremely polite and a pleasure to have them in the house.
Garrett
Just to reiterate a thank-you , but particularly to say that we have had several fires since the installation settled in , and the set-up is an unqualified success. The work was commissioned in the first place because we were getting bleed-through of smoke and fumes into the damaged ‘dead’ flue into the kitchen, causing, in some wind conditions, the kitchen to stink of sulphur dioxide.
