I want a wood burner in my living room so got 3 installers to give a quote. I've had 3 different opinions on what can and can't be done.
For example the current chimney breast is fake.. it's a stud wall boxed out thing. One of the three installers says he can install a twin wall flue system with 50mm to combustibles so no problem. But, breast is only 31cm deep hence other two installers say it's too tight and need's to be rebuilt.
Then there is the fact I'm in a bungalow. 2 of the 3 installers say there might be too much free standing flue but won't know till they put it in. Surely they can figure out from like, using a tape measure or something.
This lot are all certified proper installers.
Can see why the other guy in the other thread installing himself.
Any advice welcome
Thanks
