My sweep recently told me that gaps had appeared around the top of my liner and should be filled in. How can I seal these gaps without filling the space between the liner and the chimney down to the bottom of the liner?

A nice stiff mix and no rain for a day ;-)
Fire rated expanding foam
Thanks Phil. Do you recommend any brand?
Mike
Not really - they all meet stringent fire regulations, just get a cheap one if you can find one, and fire rated foam is pink, not yellow. It's highly unlikely there's going to be much heat up there, but better to be safe than sorry. You'll still need to point over with sand and cement after the foam's set BTW.
