How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic liner install work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Response windows across Hamilton
Standard bookings inside Hamilton: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.
Common questions
Is liner install covered by home insurance in Hamilton?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
How much does liner install cost in Hamilton?
Most Hamilton jobs land between $1,407 and $2,250. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $3,657. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day liner install in Hamilton?
