What goes into a liner job in Thornton Park
What we check on liner jobs in Thornton Park, and the source behind each check.
The flue and the connector
Section R1003.14 of the residential code does not let the flue's area drop below that of the appliance's connector. It is a simple check, and a liner that fails it is a problem however neatly it is installed.
We measure both, record them on the estimate and flag any mismatch before a liner is ordered. If an existing connector is the wrong size for the appliance as well, that goes on its own line, since the connector and the liner have to work together from the collar to the top.
Appliances a liner product is not meant for
Not every stainless liner suits every appliance. One stainless flexible liner line is not intended for Category II, III or IV gas appliances, or for appliances that condense corrosive acids on the liner or create positive pressure in the chimney.
We check the appliance category against the liner's instructions before quoting, and we name the product that matches it on the estimate. If your appliance falls outside what a common product allows, that is exactly the kind of detail that should be settled before anything goes up on the roof.
How liner length is measured
One manufacturer measures liner length from the bottom of the opening to the top of the chimney, then adds about six inches for the crown and the top hardware. Measuring on site avoids a liner that ends short of the top or leaves excess coiled inside the flue.
The measured length is listed on your estimate beside the product. On chimneys with offsets, the route can be longer than the straight height, so we measure the path the liner will actually follow rather than the distance from the ground.
The smoke chamber below a relined flue
On a fireplace, the liner meets the chimney above the smoke chamber, the sloped area over the damper. Liner makers expect that chamber cleaned before installation.
If its walls are rough, cracked or open, that is a separate smoke chamber repair, and we list it on its own line with an explanation of why it matters to the new system. The liner and the chamber work as one path for smoke, so a gap below the liner can undo part of what the liner fixes above.

Relining answers for Thornton Park homeowners
Not seeing your question? Our Thornton Park liner team will answer it by phone.
How do you choose the liner size?
From the appliance first. For a stove we follow its outlet size or the maker's instructions, and for an open fireplace we measure the opening. We then check that size against the chimney route before anything is ordered.
Do I need to be home during the installation?
Someone needs to give us access to the fireplace or appliance area, since the job connects inside the house as well as on the roof. We agree on a time that suits you when we schedule.
