Your chimney plays an essential role in the performance and safety of your stove.

At Stove Installer, we supply and install stainless steel chimney flue liners, providing professionally designed solutions for suitable existing masonry chimneys.

Whether you’re installing a new stove, replacing an existing liner or upgrading an older installation, we can assess your chimney and recommend the appropriate solution.

At Stove Installer, we generally recommend installing a new stainless steel flue liner as part of a stove installation, even where the existing chimney may not strictly require one.

While some traditional masonry chimneys can be suitable for use without a liner, we believe that installing a correctly specified flue liner is a worthwhile investment in the long-term performance, reliability and maintenance of your stove.

Older chimneys can have deteriorating mortar joints, hidden defects or internal dimensions that aren’t ideally suited to modern wood-burning and multifuel appliances.

By installing a new stainless steel flue liner, we can provide a dedicated flue passage designed to work with your chosen stove.

The benefits can include:

Improved chimney draught – A correctly sized liner can help establish and maintain suitable draught.

A dedicated flue passage – Combustion gases travel through a continuous liner rather than relying solely on the existing masonry chimney.

Easier maintenance – A suitable liner can make routine sweeping and maintenance more straightforward.

Long-term peace of mind – A properly specified and installed liner reduces reliance on the condition of the original chimney’s internal masonry.

Although a flue liner isn’t legally required in every installation, it’s generally our preferred approach when fitting a new stove.

Our aim is to provide an installation that’s not only compliant with current requirements, but also designed for reliable performance and straightforward maintenance for years to come.
