Installation Guidelines and Recommendations
Professional Installation
While the product is designed to be user-friendly, we strongly recommend that installation be carried out by a HETAS-registered professional. Certified installers will ensure that the entire system, including the top plate, top clamp, and flue liner, is correctly fitted and aligned with all regulatory standards.
Important Considerations
- Ensure that the chimney is constructed from masonry as required by Building Regulations Document J.
- Regular maintenance, including professional chimney sweeping, is vital for the ongoing performance of your flue system.
- Confirm compatibility with your flue liner and heating appliance before installation to avoid any mismatches or safety issues.
Overcoming Common Objections
Questioning the Need for Professional Installation
Even if you are an experienced DIY enthusiast, the risks associated with improper installation can be significant. Engaging a professional can prevent future complications and safeguard the structural integrity of your chimney.
