We got a corgi gas man in to install our gas fire but he refusedto do the job because we had a 'chinamans hat' cap on our chimney.
He reckoned these were not in regulation and we had to take it down.
Now its not a job I want to do taking it down and its near impossible to get somebody out to do such a simple cheap job, so what I want to know is, is it true that its against regs.
I looked round the chimneys in my area and about 30% of the chmneys seem to have this cap on, but theres no info on the internet about it.
