Using an Existing Fireplace
We can use an Existing Fireplace provided it is big enough to fit your chosen stove, and has the minimum clearance from combustible materials specified by the manufacturer. We can also look at installing additional heat shields to protect combustible materials if the clearance gaps are very close to, or smaller than, the stated distances.
It doesn’t matter how old your existing fireplace is, if its in poor condition or even blocked up. Phoenix Plumbing & Heating will carry out any and all breaking out, restoration and finishing work required. Including removing an existing gas fire (by a R.G.I. registered engineer), opening out fireplaces to their original built-size, installing new lintels and dry-lining, rendering and plastering.
Using an Existing Chimney
Yes, we can connect the flue from your new stove to an existing chimney. Phoenix Plumbing & Heating install a Multiflex Double-Ply Stainless-Steel Flexible Liner and Enamelex Vitreous Flue System. These liners prevent any gases from leaking out, and also protect the masonry in your chimney from the corrosive by-products from burning. And ensures your stove burns at its most efficient throughout its lifetime.
