Does every chimney need a liner?
It's one of the questions we're asked most often in our showroom. The simple answer is... not always.
Every property is different, and whether a chimney needs lining depends on several factors, including its age, condition, the type of appliance being installed and whether the existing flue is suitable.
A correctly specified chimney liner can:
✅ Improve the performance of your stove
✅ Help your fire burn more efficiently
✅ Protect the chimney structure
✅ Ensure combustion gases are carried away safely
✅ Help achieve compliance with current Building Regulations where required
The only way to know for certain is to have your chimney professionally assessed before installation.
At Tavistock Stoves, every installation begins with expert advice and a thorough survey, so we can recommend the safest and most appropriate solution for your home.
If you're considering a woodburning or multi-fuel stove, pop into our Tavistock showroom or get in touch with our friendly team. We'll happily answer your questions and explain the options available.
