There are several reasons why chimney liner costs might be on your mind. Perhaps you have a chimney with no liner, or maybe you have found that the existing chimney liner you have is in a bad state of repair and needs replacing. Maybe you are starting from scratch, installing a new log burning stove or open fire in a self build or extension project. 

When it comes to how chimneys work, the liner ensures they perform well and secures the overall safety of your fire too.
