I cant see enough of the cable at the moment to deffo know what size it is i was just going by some off cuts that were left over.i guess this isnt going to be as straight forwards as i thought looks like i will have to get a...

No there will be no extra load just wanted to know if the 4mm cable was ok and the 16 amp fuse with me extending it.i plan to do the work and then to get it checked by a sparky.it was with other posts saying to use 30 amps.i was worried it wasnt enough or the cable wasnt big enough

hi glad to hear everything went ok would love to see some pictures,single flue is 1 meter and double is 1 meter it rises above the roof pitch so thats all i was bothered about, no fixings the fire board is a tight fit which holds it in place,there is also a flexable silicone flashing on the roof...

Yes thats exactly how i did it,i have a roll of sheet i got from work but any kind would do taupaling something like that,think you may be able to buy stuff just for this purpouse,maybe quite expensive though,forgot to say i insulated it all as well so keeps nice and warm when the fire is on...
