What to put in the scope
- Identify appliance requirements and existing flue condition.
- Specify the listed liner system and installation requirements.
- Document connections, termination and required completion checks.
Where this service stops
A generic tube price does not establish compatibility. Relining does not automatically correct structural damage to the chimney around it.
The evidence to keep
Keep the product identification, installation instructions, applicable permit information, warranty and completion documentation with your appliance records.
Record who performed the work, the date, the identified appliance or flue and any follow-up recommended. When photos are provided, ask for labels that let another contractor understand what they show. A clear record helps distinguish a new condition from an old recommendation at the next visit.
Questions before accepting a proposal
- How was the liner size determined?
- What insulation and clearance requirements apply?
- Does the price include connections and termination?
Ask the company to identify travel, roof access, additional flues, permits and disposal separately where they affect the price. Confirm how unforeseen conditions will be explained and authorized. Keep the original estimate alongside any agreed changes.
