Sound tile, wrong size
Relining is not only for broken flues. A clay-tiled flue in good condition can still be the wrong size for what now burns below it, for example when a stove replaces an open fire or a new gas appliance replaces an old one.
In that case the tile stays where it is, and the liner runs inside it at the size the appliance needs. The tile becomes a protective sleeve around the new flue. The sizing is explained to Clay Hill homeowners so the reason for relining a sound flue is clear. Nothing is broken out that does not need to be.

How It Works
From proof run to capped liner in Clay Hill
-
Flue swept and proved
The old flue is cleaned and checked, and a test length or cone is lowered to confirm the liner will pass.
-
Liner sized to the appliance
The diameter comes from the stove collar, the insert or the fireplace opening, with insulation where the listing calls for it.
-
Liner lowered and connected
The liner goes down full height and joins a tee with a clean-out, or an adapter on the insert.
-
Top plate, clamp and cap
The top plate is fastened to the crown, the liner is clamped and trimmed, and a screened cap goes on.
Local Conditions
Why chimneys get relined in Clay Hill
Inland in Clay Hill, salt has little to do with relining. Cracked clay tile, a new stove or insert, or a flue the wrong size for the appliance are the usual reasons.
Each one calls for a liner sized to what burns below it.

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.
Breaking out tile that is in the way
When the old tile leaves too little room for the liner and its insulation, or pieces have shifted into the passage, the tile has to come out. It is broken from the top down with tools lowered on a rope or rods, and the pieces drop to the smoke chamber, where they are removed by hand.
The work is slow and noisy, and the room below is sealed off while it happens. Breaking out tile opens the flue to its full masonry size, which then becomes the space the liner and insulation have to fill. Tile removal is priced as its own line.
Why the flue is swept before relining
Liner makers call for the chimney and the smoke chamber to be cleaned thoroughly before their product goes in. Old creosote left in the flue becomes fuel sitting around the new liner, in a space nobody will be able to reach again.
The sweep also exposes the tile and joints for a last look, and it clears the smoke chamber so the bottom connection can be seen and fitted properly. It is the first line of the relining estimate, done on the same visit as the installation or just before it. A sweep also shows whether any glaze needs removal before the liner goes in.

FAQ
Relining questions from Clay Hill
Can relining be done in one day?
A plain liner in a straight, clean flue can go in within a day. Tile removal, insulation, crown repair or a new wall opening add time, and the estimate gives the schedule.
Does a wood stove need a stainless liner?
The code requires the flue lining to suit the appliance, and a stove set into an existing masonry chimney needs a flue sized to its collar. Our answer is a listed stainless liner from the stove collar to the top, sized from the stove's manual.
