What the relining estimate lists
Each part of the job gets its own line, so you can see what is being bought and why. Expect the liner's diameter and length, its alloy and whether it is rigid or flexible, the insulation and how it is applied, the bottom connection, the top plate and cap, and the sweep that goes first.
Anything outside the liner itself, such as crown repair, broken tile removal or a new wall thimble, is listed separately with its reason. The estimate also notes whether the job needs a permit and who applies for it, so nothing about the Bayard job turns up as a surprise halfway through. Measuring is free in Bayard; call (904) 920-5495 and have the appliance model handy.
Bayard is a neighborhood inside Jacksonville city limits. Bayard sits in Duval County.

From proof run to capped liner in Bayard
-
Sweep and prove the flue
The flue is swept clean, then a test piece or cone is lowered to make sure the liner will pass every bend.
-
Size and alloy chosen
The diameter comes from the appliance collar or the fireplace opening, and the alloy from the fuel.
-
Liner run down and joined
The liner goes down with its insulation where the listing asks, and joins the stove, insert or smoke chamber below.
-
Top plate, cap and record
The top plate is clamped and sealed, the cap fastened, and you get the installation record.
Sizing a liner for an open fireplace in Bayard
An open fireplace has no collar to size from, so the liner is sized from the fireplace opening, with the code's minimum flue area tied to that opening.
We measure the opening in your Bayard home and show the math on the estimate.

Proving the flue before a liner is ordered
A liner cut to length is not easily returned, so nothing is ordered on a guess. The proof run answers one question: will a liner of the planned size, with any insulation, pass from the top of this flue to the bottom?
It fails at bulging mortar joints, at tiles knocked out of line, and at offsets tighter than they look from either end. When the proof fails, the options are to break out the obstruction, change to flexible liner, or step down to a smaller rigid section if the appliance sizing still allows it. We say which option applies and why.
Sizing a liner for a gas appliance
Gas appliances are sized differently from wood. The flue for a gas appliance vented into masonry is sized from the venting tables in NFPA 54, the National Fuel Gas Code, and from the appliance's installation manual, and the Florida Building Code sends gas flue lining to its fuel gas chapter.
The tables account for the appliance's input, the height of the chimney and the length of any lateral run. Too large a liner lets the exhaust cool and condense; too small restricts it. When two gas appliances share a flue, the combined sizing rules apply, and we note which table was used. The appliance's rating plate gives the input figure the tables need.
Letting the liner grow with heat
Stainless steel expands as it heats. A liner many feet long grows measurably during a hot fire and shrinks as it cools, and the installation has to allow for that movement. Flexible liner's corrugations take up much of it along the length.
At the top, the insulation wrap ends a short way under the crown, leaving the liner free to move within the top plate's clamp without tearing the wrap. At the bottom, the connection is supported but not locked so rigidly that expansion has nowhere to go. Those details come from the maker's instructions and are followed as written.
Size, alloy and listing on paper
- Stainless alloy picked from the listing for the fuel being burned
- Screened liner cap and storm collar fitted at the top of the flue
- Damaged tile at the top cut back flush and the surface patched
- Crown repair under the top plate, priced as a separate item
Relining questions from Bayard
Do you install chimney liners in Bayard?
We do. Describe the fireplace or stove and the reason relining came up, and the Bayard estimate visit is planned around it.
Does a relined flue still need its own cap?
The relined flue does not need one. The liner kit we fit includes its own cap, which fastens at the top plate. If the chimney has other flues, their caps are checked, and any change is noted.
