What goes into a liner job in West Colonial
What we check on liner jobs in West Colonial, and the source behind each check.
When clearances cannot be confirmed
Clearances are not always visible. One stainless liner's instructions state that if the proper clearances cannot be determined, the liner must be installed with an approved insulation wrap.
We would rather say that plainly than assume the framing sits where it should. If insulation is required for your chimney, the estimate says so and gives the reason in a sentence you can check. If more access would settle the question, such as an attic hatch we could not reach, we tell you that too, so you can decide which way to go.
Insulation changes the size that fits
An insulation wrap adds thickness around the liner, and the wrapped liner still has to pass the tightest point in the flue. One maker notes that insulation affects the dimensions needed for installation.
When we plan an insulated liner, we measure against the wrapped size rather than the bare pipe and confirm the route before ordering. That avoids a liner that slides down bare but binds once it is wrapped. If the wrapped size will not pass, the estimate explains the alternatives, from removing old tile to another listed product.
Draft depends on height as well as size
A flue's draft depends on its height and temperature as well as its area, which is why the same liner size can behave differently in two chimneys. One manufacturer notes that its sizing formula can vary with the height of the chimney and other factors.
We weigh those factors rather than applying one number to every job, and the estimate explains which ones shaped the proposal for your chimney.
Every relining starts with a stated reason
A relining proposal should say why. Damaged tile, a missing lining, a flue that no longer suits the appliance and a planned equipment change are different starting points, and each leads to different choices.
We write the reason at the top of your estimate, so everything below it can be checked against it. If the reason changes during preparation, for example when cleaning reveals more damage than expected, the estimate is revised and explained before work continues.

No. It is required in some situations, such as when clearances to combustibles cannot be confirmed, and recommended in others, such as a chimney on an outside wall. We tell you which applies to your West Colonial chimney and price it clearly.
Can I use the fireplace right after the liner is installed?
Once the installation is finished and checked, yes, following any first-use guidance in the product instructions. We go over that guidance with you at handover.
