woodburner advice
Hello, I'm looking to get a wood burning stove installed for this winter and I want to get a HETAS registered company/person to install it and sign it so that it meets building regulations. I understand that it recommended to get a flue liner installed and this brings peace of mind due to it eliminating the chance of a chimney fire. Can anyone recommend any local companies or contractors that can do it for a fair price? I know Acorn are one such company but with them I'm looking at £800 min for the liner.

Re: woodburner advice
It wont be cheap anywhere, £800 is not a bad price at all, you could try flusafe or ramsbottom stoves though for a second opinion.

Re: woodburner advice
Wood burners are very common here in France, and yes it is advised that you use a flue liner. Installing one is not rocket science, the big problem comes with the height of the chimney. If using a company and it is over 3 m(I think) high then they are required to use scaffolding. If you are doing it on your own property then that doesn't apply.
You do not state whether the figure of £800 includes anything in addition to the liner. Wood burners here cost anywhere between 400 to 700 euros. There is a differential between inset and freestanding ones. I installed my own free standing one and the flue liner as well. The chimney is about 11 m - installation is a doddle, drop a weighted rope down and then pull the liner up with somene feeding in from the bottom - suggest you get more than one quotation and ask for the quotation to be itemised.

Re: woodburner advice
can vouch for tony barr, know of him through work and a very nice guy indeed, somewhat fearless when going up a roof and dropping a flue liner down...
I dropped a flue liner down mine last week, and to say I wasnt cacking it up my roof was an understatement, hats off to anyone who does that for a living.. |
