Our chimney liner approach
Our approach to all projects that we work on is always the same – to ensure that your chimney and fireplace are safe and fit for use.
Please get in touch if you would like us to visit your property and survey your chimney liner in Birmingham. One of our experienced engineers will carry out a comprehensive visual inspection to identify any areas that may require work. We will also provide you with a full written quotation for any further tests or work that is needed.
At Turner Baker, we don’t believe in the one size fits all approach. Chimneys come in all different shapes and sizes. Many properties, particularly old ones, have their own quirks that need to be considered. We use a range of liners including stainless steel, flexible liners and pumice liners.
When choosing Turner Baker to line your chimney, there will be minimal disruption to your property and home.

Nothing beats a cosy warm fire on a cold winters evening. But there’s also nothing worse than a fire that doesn’t work properly. It may not give out any heat or worse, it may fill your rooms with smoke which contains potentially dangerous chemicals.
So, what are the benefits of having my flue lined?
One – To comply with current legislation. If you’re building a new property in Birmingham that has a chimney, then it must be lined to comply with Document J of current Building Regulations.
Two – Safety. Especially for older properties, there are many safety benefits to be gained from having a chimney lined.
One of the most important factors to remember is that smoke from your open fire or multi fuel stove or wood burner needs to exit via the flue as fast and smoothly as possible. Where a chimney is made from brick, the brickwork could degrade and crumble over time and it is highly likely that the mortar between the bricks can also degrade.
If there are any signs of degradation to the internal brickwork, it will likely mean that the chimney will have to be lined. This is because the flue could leak smoke into another room in the property whereas smoke will travel most efficiently through a smooth flue. Any lumps and bumps found in the uneven brickwork on the way up through the flue will slow down the flow of smoke; the smoke will then cool and leave deposits on the side of the flue. This is bad. A build up will quickly occur and increases the chance of a chimney fire.
The internal condition of your chimney may look fine now, but if you are planning to install a fire or stove for regular use, then this will have the effect of speeding up the degradation of the brickwork on the inner walls of the chimney. This is due to the heating and cooling of the bricks whilst the fire or stove is in use.
If you are worried about the condition of your chimney and whether it’s safe to use, always seek expert advice.
