Smoke in the room and flue size
When smoke spills from an open fireplace, flue size is one of the suspects. The code ties the flue area to the fireplace opening, and a flue that is too small for the opening, or one choked by broken tile, leaves smoke nowhere to go but back into the room.
A liner sized to the opening can cure that, but only when size is the cause. If the chimney is short for the roof, or the house pulls air down the flue, a liner will not change the result, and you hear that on the Murray Hill visit, before anyone orders one.

How It Works
How chimney relining runs
-
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
Flues with bends in Murray Hill
Some chimneys change direction partway up. Rigid liner sections cannot follow an offset, and flexible liner can.
We prove the path in your Murray Hill chimney with a test piece before the liner is cut to length.

What the top plate does
The top plate is the part that holds the liner up. It sits on the crown around the flue opening, clamps the liner, and carries the whole weight of the liner below it, anchored to the masonry by sealant rated for heat or by masonry screws, per the kit.
Once the plate is fastened, the liner is cut flush with its collar and the cap goes on. A plate set on an uneven or cracked crown will not seal or sit square, which is why a broken top tile gets trimmed and the crown surface made good before it goes on.
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.
The crown under a new top plate
A top plate sits on the crown and seals to it, so the crown's condition matters to the liner. A crown with open cracks lets water into the masonry around the new flue, and water trapped between old tile and liner can stain the chimney and rust fasteners.
When the crown is sound except for small cracks, a crown sealer before the plate goes on may be enough. When it is broken up or missing its overhang, repair or recasting comes first. Either way the crown work is its own line on the estimate, so the liner price stays the liner price.

FAQ
Before a liner is ordered
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.
What paperwork do I get after relining?
The liner maker's instructions and an installation record with the liner size, alloy, length and insulation. Keep them with the house papers for the next sweep, inspection or sale.
