A properly installed flue system is critical to the long-term safety and performance of your Aga cooker. Here’s why:
-
Safety: A correct flue prevents carbon monoxide and other combustion gases from leaking into your home.
-
Efficiency: A properly designed flue improves heat-up times, fuel efficiency, and oven performance.
-
Compliance: Our installations comply with UK Building Regulations (Approved Document J) and AGA manufacturer specifications.

Flue Liner Options for Aga Cookers
- Stainless Steel Liners – flexible and corrosion-resistant, these liners are ideal for oil and gas Agas. They are widely used due to their affordability and ease of installation.
- Pumice Liners – known for excellent thermal insulation, pumice liners help maintain flue gas temperatures, enhancing the efficiency of the Aga cooker.
- Silica Polymer Liners – lightweight and smooth, these liners handle rapid temperature changes well, making them versatile for many applications, especially in older chimneys with uneven shapes.
- Thermosetting Resin Liners – these liners are used to seal cracks and reinforce deteriorated flues without the need for full chimney reconstruction. They provide a solid, long-lasting installation.
Each liner type has its advantages, and the choice depends on factors like the existing chimney condition, fuel type, and specific installation requirements. It’s essential to select the appropriate liner to ensure safe and efficient operation of your Aga cooker.

Aga Flue Installation Process
- Inspection of Existing Chimneys – we thoroughly inspect the existing chimney to identify potential issues or damages that need attention.
- Selection of High-Quality Materials – based on the inspection, we’ll recommend the most suitable high-grade liners for your flue’s condition and type.
- Removal of Old Liner – if your mine has an old liner, it is carefully removed for the new Aga flue installation.
- Installation of New Liner – the new flue liner is then carefully inserted into the chimney, ensuring a snug and secure fit to maximise efficiency and safety.
- Securing and Insulating the Liner – once the liner is in place, it is securely fastened and properly insulated to prevent leaks or blockages.
- Protecting Your Home – throughout the process, we take great care to protect your home and ensure no mess is left behind.
- Final Inspection and Testing – after the installation, our team conducts a final inspection and performs a series of tests to ensure everything functions correctly and meets all safety standards.
More Than Just Flue Installation
A well-installed flue is essential to the safe and efficient running of any fuel-burning Aga. It provides a secure outlet for combustion gases, reduces the risk of soot and creosote build-up, and helps your cooker run at its best. Our team ensures every flue we install complies with current building regulations and is tailored to your home and Aga model.
At John Wray Range Cookers, we don’t just install flues - we restore and install authentically reconditioned Aga cookers that perform like new, without the cost of buying brand new. Each one is carefully rebuilt, tested, and installed to offer long-term reliability with classic Aga character.
We also offer full Aga colour change services through professional re-enamelling. Whether you’re matching your kitchen decor or just fancy a change from one colour to another, we can give your Aga a fresh new look while keeping its original charm and performance intact.
From flue installation to full Aga refurbishment and re-enamelling, we offer the complete package - done right, done once.
Aga Flue Installation Reviews
We are very pleased with the replacement top for our AGA, the whole process was really easy and professional. They did exactly what they said they would do, on time and with a superb result.Excellent.
Response from the owner 12:50 14 May 25
Thank you very much Carol. The new top made the Aga look great! 
Very friendly, very helpful, and lots of advice. The whole process from visiting the showroom, to the installation of our Electrikit Advanced 2-oven Aga in Northern Counties Cream (our choice - though with so many enamel colours to choose from, well.....!}, went extremely smoothly - and ended with a quick run through of operation, and time for questions and answers.After decades of using all the different types of Aga, and Rayburn, this new one is a whole different kettle of fish and takes a bit of getting used to. But it is definitely the Aga for today, offering lots of flexibility, yet still the delights of cooking in a proper cast-iron oven. To save fuel, one doesn't have to switch the whole caboodle off for the summer, as one might have done in the past - or, if you go away on holiday, it is no different from switching off your immersion heater.To increase flexibility of use, one can programme the Aga, just as you might your house central-heating/water heating - plus you can put all this on an App on your 'pnone, so you can switch the Aga on and off etc., remotely. However, with just having moved house and, so far, every day being a whirlwind of seemingly essential jobs, we haven't had time to try out all this modern tech.. But, we will!Thank you, all at John Wray!
Exceptional - a brilliant company to do business with and surely the best AGA company in the north of England (if not nationally). I cannot recommend Stuart and his team enough - from the moment we contacted John Wray Country Stoves, we felt valued as customers and nothing was too much trouble. All of our questions were answered very knowledgeably and the installation process was 100% stress-free (including the removal of our old AGA). Stuart even made a minor repair to my woodburner, even though he and his colleage (another lovely guy) had worked all day to install the AGA and had a long drive back to North Yorkshire .All in all, the best people we've worked with during our house renovations and highly recommended.
A really super job from John Wray Country Stoves and AEM Range Cooker Services converting our gas Aga to the Electrickit Advanced.It was fascinating to see. Very excited to get to grips with it. I am enjoying the induction hob and I can now turn the oven on from the train home, using the App.The team at John Wray were so friendly, helpful and straightforward to deal with from first contact through to installation. They and Alex from AEM were a pleasure to have around on the day of the work. I can highly and whole heartedly recommend them.
Good advice pre sale. Installers arrived on time, completed the job efficiently and tidied up after themselves. Couldn't ask for more.

Thank you for your review Charlene, It was a pleasure to fit your stove.

Thank you David, glad your happy with your Aga! 
Thank you to Stuart, Ben and Louise for a great experience installing my much loved stove. I waited a year for this beauty to be installed when I moved house, and then was let down. But Stuart pulled out all the stops and came to my rescue. Louise was on hand to help and support and Ben cleaned up all the mess and made the whole experience effortless. I'm keen to save up for an aga so any advice or support will be appreciated. A great team and an impeccable service.
Aga Flue Installation Service FAQs
Do I need a flue for my Aga cooker?
Yes, if your Aga runs on oil or gas, a properly installed flue is essential for venting combustion gases safely outside, preventing any buildup of harmful fumes inside your home. Aga electric conversions, however, do not require a flue but may need adequate ventilation.
How often should my flue be serviced?
We recommend a professional inspection and sweep at least once a year, especially for oil or gas Agas.
What are signs my flue needs replacing?
Poor draught, smoke escaping into the room, smells, or visible deterioration in the chimney are all signs your flue may need relining.
What types of flue liners are suitable for Aga cookers?
Suitable flue liners for Aga cookers include stainless steel liners, pumice liners, silica polymer liners, and thermosetting resin liners. The choice depends on factors like chimney condition and fuel type.
