Case Studies

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, we are proud to have been chosen to carry out our services for a wide variety of clients, working in some of the most recognisable and prestigious buildings in the London area.

Here, you’ll find some examples of our work, with specific examples of how we identified and rectified existing problems using our knowledge, experience and expertise.

Upper Cheyne Row, Chelsea, London

To maintain the cross sectional area of the flue due to large fire opening sizes requested by the client to create adequate "draught" to enable the use without the requirement of fitting chimney fans. The fire opening on the entrance needed a new flue creating as the original had been blocked.

All 4 of the Furnaflex25 liners were installed within 3 days within schedule for the installation of their new fireplaces and appliances.

Result

Furnaflex25 fitted to the contour of the flue, maintaining the cross sectional area of the flue and giving a smooth and insulated lining to increase the efficiency of the chimney and without any disruption to the construction of the flue whilst meeting the grade 2 listing building requirements.

Hogarth House, Richmond, London

To maintain the cross dimensional diameter of the flue due to the large
fire opening sizes requested by the client to create adequate “draught”
to enable use without the requirement of fitting chimney fans.

All 6 FuranFlex25 liners were installed within 4 days, ahead of
schedule and ready for the rendering of the firebacks and installation
of their new fireplaces and appliances.

Result

Furanflex25 fitted to the contour of the flue, maintaining the cross
sectional area of the flue and giving a smooth insulated lining to increase the efficiency of the chimney and without any disruption to the construction of the flue and meeting the grade 2 listed building
requirements.

We took out the old common header and flue liner and replaced/relined through the existing rigid riser with the Furanflex Black flue liner suitable for gas and condense purposes. The work was carried out during the school holidays so there wasn’t any disturbance and we made sure that the heating and hot water was ready for when the children returned to school.

Rosemead Prep School, Norwood, London

We Installed a Poujoulat rigid condense header system and vertical Furanflex Black flue lining system serving 2no Vaillant Ecotec VUGB 80 commercial gas condensing boilers, as the old system was leaking and a new boiler system had been installed.

Result

We took out the old common header and flue liner and replaced/relined through the existing rigid riser with the Furanflex Black flue liner suitable for gas and condense purposes.

The work was carried out during the school holidays so there wasn’t any disturbance and we made sure that the heating and hot water was ready for when the children returned to school.

Clarson House - FLue Liner Solutions

Clarson House, Walworth, London

We installed a Poujoulat rigid condense header system and Furanflex black vertical flue lining system serving 2no Remeha Gas Eco Pro 610 commercial condense boilers. The old system was leaking badly potentially emitting poisonous combustion gases into the building.

Result

We relined though the existing rigid vertical riser with Furanflex black to seamlessly maintain the internal cross-sectional area of the flue without having to take out the whole of the old faulty system incurring huge building works, cost and the need for inspection hatches. We then finished the Furanflex black lining through an adaptor which connected onto the new common header.
As the boilers served 60 apartments, we had to complete this project within 5 days to save disruption to the tenants.
We supplied a temporary boiler so that the tenants could maintain heating and hot water during the installation to save any disruption.

Royal Brompton Hospital, Chelsea, London

We installed a Poujoulat rigid condense header system and vertical flue lining system serving 2no Hamworthy Variheat PV70c commercial gas condense boilers as the old system wasn’t suitable for the new boilers.

Result

We took out the old common header and flue liner and replaced/relined through the existing rigid riser with a flexible stainless steel flue liner suitable for condense purposes.
We used a elevated platform to install the flexible stainless steel flue liner as scaffolding wasn’t possible due to restrictions.

Palmerston Road, Wimbledon, London

To maintain the cross dimensional diameter of the flue so the client
could use their solid fuel fireplaces and meet regulations set by
building control of minimum 200mm + flue diameter. A steel liner of
200mm + would not be able to fit in the flue and the client would
either have to opt for a gas stove/fireplace or have extensive building
work to carry out on the flue.

The 2 FuranFlex25 RWV liners were installed within 2 days and the
client was able to use his solid fuel fireplaces immediately

Customer Comments...

“I was extremely pleased with how quick and clean the installation
process was. I was able to keep my current fireplaces and have
noticed how much more efficiently it draws the smoke to previously.
Overall I’m very happy with all the work carried out and would
definitely suggest this product and Flue liner solutions to my
friends”. - Mr A Crocker

Result

Furanflex25 fitted to the contour of the flue maintaining the cross
sectional area of the flue, giving a smooth insulated lining to increase

construction of the flue. The flue dimensions would not be able to
host steel liners that would meet building control regulations making
Furanflex RWV the perfect option.
