Brick Chimney Builders - Essex and London
It is important to understand the correct chimney flue liner for its intended use (a 'chimney' is the brick structure that encloses the ‘flue liner’). The flue liners are jointed with a special fire resisting compound and the void around the flue liner is filled using a special insulating lightweight concrete mix. If the intended stove is known before the chimney is built, then the relevant diameter liners should be used to suit that appliance (wood stoves usually require 150mm internal diameter).

There is a science to how a chimney works, always ensure any
builder or heating engineer you employ fully understands this as there are many
myths regarding brick chimney construction. One myth is that a chimney should have bends in
it. In reality the perfect chimney will be as straight as the property layout
will allow. Any bend will act as resistance to a good flow of gasses.
If your builder requires advice, we offer site visits to advise the bricklayers during the construction process.
