:lol: Note to self- must eat more pies!

Ha, ha - I'm only a tiny 7stone! I'll chill out a bit. Thanks a million x

Phewph - I started to think my house was going to fall down then! :D I never do DIY - now you know why. Any more ideas on the weight? Thanks for all your advice x

It's about 36cms away, but it is a big beast capable of 12kw and I wasn't in when the installers lit it. Can too much heat cause a crack in a wall? Maybe I should call them back in so they can have a look?

The factory was built in 1830 and neglected for a while in the 90s, so the floorboards are original but the wooden joists were replaced (but I don't know any details I'm afraid). I have just noticed a worrying hairline crack in the wall (which is an exterior wall, crack inside though) next...

Thanks for responding. It's not a loft conversion, it's an old factory converted into a home. The building and conversion built to building regs, but I'm worried about the stove weight. I wouldn't be worried if 4 people stood in a close circle though.

Hello I hope someone can help me. I have just had a wood burning stove professionally installed on the 3rd floor of my home and was alarmed when I spotted that it weight 165kgs. Is this too heavy? The floors are solid wood in a conversion property. The stove is next to an exterior wall...
