Do I need to line my Canbury chimney for a wood burner?

Almost always. Building regs require a liner for any new appliance install into an existing KT2 chimney unless the flue passes a smoke test and is in good condition — most Victorian stacks don't.

How much does chimney lining cost in KT2?

£650–£1,200 for a standard 6" liner in Canbury, plus £150–£300 for cowl, register plate and gather. Tall or twisted flues push into the £1,400–£1,600 range.

How long does a chimney lining take?

Half a day to a full day for most Canbury single-flue installs. We work from a scaffold or ladder with a proper anchor; the fire doesn't need to be moved.

Chimney Lining — areas covered

Old your area chimneys were built for open coal fires, not modern high-output wood burners. A stainless flexi-liner is what keeps the flue safe, efficient and passing a sweep test — especially in your postcode where a lot of the stock is pre-1940.
