A chimney flue is the internal passage within your chimney that allows smoke and combustion gases to escape. It acts as a controlled pathway, ensuring that fumes—including carbon monoxide—are directed safely outside rather than back into your living space.
Flues can be constructed from a variety of materials, including clay, concrete, and stainless steel liners. The type and condition of your flue will have a direct impact on how well your appliance performs.

Our Chimney Flue Process
At FPM Fires, we understand that a well-maintained chimney flue is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your fireplace or stove. Whether you burn wood, coal, or use a gas appliance, the flue plays a vital role in carrying smoke, gases, and harmful by-products safely out of your home.
Over time, chimney flues can suffer from wear and tear. Some of the most common issues include:
-
Cracked or deteriorating liners
-
Blockages caused by soot, bird nests, or debris
-
Tar and creosote build-up
-
Poor ventilation or “draw” issues
-
Incorrect flue size for the appliance
These problems not only affect performance but can also pose serious safety risks if left unaddressed.
If your flue is damaged or unsuitable, we can repair or install a new liner to bring your chimney up to modern safety standards.
