I have been putting off this job for a long time!!!
I have an oil-fired boiler that exhausts into socketted steel pipes of about 9cm diameter. They rise at an angle then disappear into an adjoining chimney breast. I know from watching the builders at work that the chimney stack has a brown ceramic liner. It has quite a large but unknown diameter.
Condensation is causing staining on the chimney breast and the chimney breast goes through a bedroom upstairs that gets too hot.
For all these reasons I want to line the chimney with a flexible stainless liner. I know how to do the roof bit as I have a scaffold tower and roof ladder. However I have no idea how to connect the liner to the existing pipes. I also believe that a moisture trap can be fitted.
Has anyone done such a job? Should I replace the pipes rising from the boiler to make the connection easier? Can anyone recommend a supplier or an information site?
