Hey,

When you switch from a wood-burning chimney to a gas chimney, you need to install a fresh chimney liner. The flashing needs to be changed according to the type of fuel used in the chimney. Take a look below to read tips I've gathered on my journey to replace chimney flashing.

  • Clean the existing flue and inspect the status of the mortar joints.

  • Measure the length and dimensions of the chimney. This measurement will be used to determine the dimensions of the liner needed.

  • Flatten the liner on the surface of the roof and fasten the liner to a hose clamp. 

  • Lay down the insulation blanket on the ground.

  • Centre the liner in the centre and wrap the insulation blanket around it

  • Fix the liner with the adhesive of your choice

  • Position all the connectors to the liner 

  • Seal the crown of the chimney and other gaps with silicone caulking
