Chimney Flue Liner Installation In Cambridge

CHIMNEY LINING

If you have an old chimney it’s best practice to line it. The liner creates a direct and even channel between the wood burner and the top of the chimney, which means soot and tar have less uneven surfaces to stick to. Any soot or tar that is created is much more likely to fall back into the burner to be recombusted. In an unlined chimney this soot often causes a blockage at the flue pipe. Lining the chimney also ensures there is no leakage from the chimney during the life of the wood burner, which could otherwise be a risk in an old house.

TWIN WALL FLUE

NO CHIMNEY: NO PROBLEM
Rigid twin wall flue is used where there isn’t an existing chimney. It’s a little larger than flexible liner because it’s built with a layer of insulation between two sheets of stainless-steel pipe. The standard diameter of twin wall for a wood burning stove would be 200mm external / 150mm internal.

INSIDE AND OUT
Twin wall flue is suitable for internal and external installation so you can either have it run up through your house, up the outside of a side wall, or even freestanding to a height of 3m above a roof. The regulations can be strict but there’s loads you can do with it, so get in touch and we will discuss your options.

PLANNING PERMISSION
Twin wall flue can require planning permission. We always recommend you seek advice from your local planning department in the early stages of arranging a twin wall project. If an application is required, we can provide you with all the architectural drawings and specifications you’ll need.
