Lining a Chimney How difficult & Expensive

SquirrelJ

I have been quoted about £400 for someone to line my chimney. Is this a good deal if not how much would I be looking at to DIY??? If i do it myself how hard a job is it??

Cheers

I think it depends on what lining. We had stainless steel lining and it was about £600 but this was for a log burner

We were quoted £700 and £800 for two chimneys in our 1930's semi. I would say £400 was cheap - given the difficulties of getting onto the roof and the dangers of falling. How much would it cost you to spend a month or more in hospital.

Id snap theire hand off, a workmate did his not long ago, took 2 of them a morning to do. Not sure on materials costs etc, but unless your used to getting up on roofs...and have the ladders etc.

same here. for that money id snap their hands off too.
there are some jobs where it makes a whole lot of sense to let the pros do it.
esp when the price is so cheap/ish.
