By law, every working fireplace that uses solid fuel or an open gas fire is required to have a functioning flue in good condition. The purpose of the flue is to make sure that all noxious fumes escape up the chimney and do not find their way back into the building through gaps or leaks. To ensure that your flue is in good condition, you will need a chimney lining in Essex.

As a top-rated chimney sweep, chimney lining in Essex is essential. Here’s why chimney lining in Essex is incredibly beneficial…
One of the main reasons for having chimney lining in Essex is that it reduces the likelihood of a chimney fire occurring. A chimney liner provides a barrier between the fire and the chimney and its surrounding elements. Chimney lining is crucial in protecting your home from overheating and fire.
Our chimney lining in Essex can extend the lifespan of your chimney. It does this by protecting the chimney’s masonry and joints from the heat of a fire. What’s more, it protects the chimney from any corrosion that may be inflicted by flue gases that a fire creates. A chimney that doesn’t have chimney lining in Essex will suffer damage over time.
Did you know that a chimney lining in Essex can improve the energy efficiency of your home? Chimney lining in Essex helps fires to burn brighter and maintains optimal airflow within your chimney. This means that the need for adding fuel will be reduced and the loss of heat minimised. Therefore, saving energy!
Soot will inevitably collect in your chimney over time. Therefore, your chimney lining in Essex will reduce the build-up of soot and creosote within your chimney. This means that smoke, soot, and other debris won’t be sent back into your rooms and fire risk will be reduced.
If your chimney isn’t properly lined, you could run the risk of causing serious damage to your health. Chimneys without chimney linings in Essex could leak toxic gases back into your home. Inhaling fumes from solid fuel or gas fires can be toxic. Chimney lining in Essex provides a safe outlet for these gases.
The average lifespan of chimney lining in Essex is between 15-20 years. If you have lived in your home for over 15 years you likely need to get the entire liner replaced to make sure it is up to code.
