Before you reline a flue in Lockwood
How we think through a liner for your Lockwood chimney, from the appliance to the cap.
Relining inside the old tile or removing it
A stainless flexible liner can be installed within the existing flue tile, or the tile can be removed. The choice depends on how much room the proposed liner needs, whether insulation has to fit around it and whether damaged tile would obstruct it.
Removal adds labor and debris, so we explain why it is proposed and what it achieves before it goes on the estimate. Where the tile can stay, we say so, since leaving sound material in place keeps the job simpler.
Keeping tile pieces out of the flue
When tile is trimmed at the top, pieces must not drop into the flue, and any that do are removed. Loose fragments on the smoke shelf or at the base of a flue can block the passage and the new liner's path.
We check the base of the flue after the top work, so nothing is left behind, and we clear the smoke shelf before the liner connection is made. A clean base is also where the next sweep starts, so leaving it clear is part of finishing the job properly.
When relining is scheduled in stages
Some chimneys need masonry repair, cleaning or crown work before the liner can go in. We sequence those stages in the estimate, so you can see what happens on each visit and what each stage involves.
The liner is ordered once the chimney is ready to receive it. Staging also lets you spread decisions out, and the fireplace stays out of use only for as long as the work requires.
When a liner cap has come off
A missing liner cap leaves the flue open to rain, leaves and animals. Replacing it with the cap listed for that liner restores the system, as long as the liner and plate below are sound.
We check those parts before fitting a new cap, and quote a replacement cap only when the rest of the top assembly can support it. If the old cap is lying on the roof or in the yard, leave it where it is. Its condition helps show why it came loose.

Liner questions we hear in Lockwood
Not seeing your question? Our Lockwood liner team will answer it by phone.
Do you reline chimneys that vent a furnace or water heater?
Yes, where the chimney is masonry and the appliance instructions allow a lined masonry chimney. Those flues are sized by the fuel gas rules and the appliance manual, and we show that reference in the estimate.
What paperwork do I get after relining?
The product name, size and length, any insulation, the completed scope and the care guidance. Keep them with your home records for future sweeps, inspections or a sale.
