    Hi,


    Just want to get some idea of possible solutions.


    My chimney flue has been damaged some of the red brick I got at the back of the stove.
    Had a guy in cleaning it he said without a camera you won't know where it is broken.


    Just wondering what the options are here?


    He is talking about replacing the flue so I assume as they are stacked on top of one another which seems like a big job.


    But I know some people put a flue liner up instead.


    Let me know what you think can be done here.


    Thanks

    Replacing the original clay pots is a big messy job so forget about that.
    Putting in a flexi flue is the best option but I think you should have a look with a camera to make sure there is no serious damage and find out exactly what has happened
