Top to bottom, and make sure that it's the right way up as most have a correct orientation. Be aware that unless you get it signed off by a HETAS registered installer, your house insurance won't cover you in the event that you have a fire, and you will be liable in the event that anyone suffers carbon monoxide poisoning from the installation
Exactly!
Its commonly thought that because it is not gas any DIYer can do it.
I read about one fellow who seemed to have pissed off his building control over a stove installation and they fined him £4000 !
They may not explode as gas can but they can just as easily give CO poisoning.

BC cant fine anyone.
Thanks guys. All advise duly noted. A HETAS registered installer is fitting the LPG boiler and he is going to oversee the stove installation and sign it off.
He is currently on holiday while I do some preparation work hence I am asking on here at present.
Thanks everyone.

Does a HETAS installer actually need to fit the liner/stove in order to sign it off? My initial guess would have been yes unless you know them pretty well. I'm curious as I have an old Rayburn Royal which I intend to fit. Trying to work out at present which parts of the job I can do. How to keep the price from rocketing I suppose. Chimney in my case it comparatively easy to access as its on the corner of the house on a stack. I was up to the top on ladders earlier, it's got a gas liner in at present. Comments appreciated.
Apparently, HETAS Engineers a bunch of lying so and so's

Muggles, I have asked before (not necessarily to you) for some evidence that DIY negates house insurance. To date, no one has come forward.

No, HETAS don't need to fit the liner to sign off, but they do need to be the one who finally attaches the liner to the stove. Just leave them unconnected, without register plate, and he can look up the flue to see that the liner is the right way up etc, before connecting. Show him photos of the chimney termination.
I think that, in order to get hard evidence for that, you'd need to phone up a house insurance company and ask them a question like "If I, as an untrained and unqualified person, was to fit a stove in my house and the house subsequently burned down as a result of the installation, would I be covered?". I suspect that the answer would be very short...Apparently, HETAS Engineers a bunch of lying so and so's
