Our chimney liner approach

If you would like us to visit your property and survey your chimney or flue then please get in touch.  We will send one of our engineers out who will be able to carry out a sight inspection and will tell you what needs to be done.  We also provide a full written quotation for any further tests or work that may be required.

Turner Baker do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Chimneys come in all shapes and sizes.   Most properties, particularly older ones have their own little quirks that need to be taken into consideration.  We use a range of stainless steel flue liners, pumice liners and flexible resin liners.

If you decide to use Turner Baker to line your chimney, minimal disruption to your property is our priority.

There is nothing better in your home than a cosy warm fire on a cold winters evening.  There is nothing worse though than a fire that doesn’t work properly.  It may not give out any heat or frighteningly, it may fill your rooms with smoke which contains potentially dangerous chemicals.

What are the benefits of having my chimney flue lined?

Reason number one – To comply with the law.  If you are building a new property in Bristol with a chimney it must be lined to comply with Document J of current Building Regulations.

Reason number two – Safety. For older properties, there are many safety benefits to be gained from having a chimney lined in Bristol.

The most important thing to remember is that the smoke from your open fire or multi fuel stove or wood burner needs to exit via the flue as quickly and smoothly as possible.  Where a chimney is constructed from brick, the bricks may degrade and crumble over time and it is likely that the mortar in between the bricks will degrade as well.

Any sign of degradation of the internal brickwork means that the chimney will have to be lined. This is because the flue may leak smoke into another room in the property and also, smoke will travel most efficiently through a smooth flue.  Any lumps and bumps caused by the uneven bricks on the way up through the flue will slow down the flow of the smoke; the smoke will cool and leave deposits on the side of the flue.  This is not good.  A build up will quickly occur and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

The internal condition of your chimney may look fine at the moment but if you are planning to install a fire or stove and use it regularly then this will have the effect of speeding up the degradation of the brickwork on the inside of the chimney due to the heating and cooling of the bricks whilst the fire or stove is being used.

If you are in doubt about the condition of your chimney and whether it is safe to use it is always best to get some advice from our experts in Bristol.
