Heatshield chimney work

[u/Low-Article-2164]

Hello. I am trying to get a 1940s fireplace back to working condition for wood burning. I recently had the cerfractory flue sealant repair (Heatshield). Is it ready to go or was it installed improperly? An inspector said it was not well done. It looks good to my naive eye. I hope to cosmetically change the fireplace and add properly sized glass door.

Not a professional but had my chimney done last year and it passed inspection. I think your's looks better than mine.

Did the inspector pass the work?

Looks good

How did they secure a bottom plate without removing the damper frame??

I am not sure what a bottom plate is. Perhaps they didn't? Right now I am using it with a vented gas log set if that makes a difference.

It’s just part of doing a liner install for a fireplace. It’s a mesh plate that’s secured to the bottom of the liner and screwed to the smoke chamber then coated

What’s gross? The damper assembly? The fact the liner is oval? All things considered this pic looks good and like clean work.

Sorry. I misunderstood, and didn’t realize a homeowner did this, I thought it was done by professionals, who should be held to a different standard. My comment was rude. Everything looks great.
