Hi Jal
you should always change a liner on a new installation. Gas liners and solid fuel liners are made with different grades of steel. You should always change a liner as you cannot see it state, most liners have a lifetime of about 10 years but this can reduce if its been incorrectly installed. All chimneys must be swept prior to an installation to ensure the flue is free of any debris, blockage or combustible materials. hope this helps

Yes definitely replace the liner and get the chimney swept. We can survey and advise on appropriate wood burners and flue. Come and see us in Wells.
