Hi Sandwell, Is the company Economic part of Potterton, Hallmark,Main etc? I have been trying to find out the maker etc but am having no joy. all i know its a seafire 3....does anyone know anything about this type of fire? Thanks

cheers namsag...

Hi namsag, Thanks for your message. Fire came first (years ago) and the liner came later (last year) - guess you are saying its not compliant :(

can anyone help?? ta

Hi everyone, many thanks for your replies. the fire is a Main Seafire 3 - (it might be Potterton or Hallmark Seafire 3) as it is quite old - not 100% sure of make. the chimney was lined as the chimney was orginally shared with the neighbour. the chimney removed on one side so chimney had to...

Hi everyone, Giblets - as the radiant fire is years old - we do not have an instruction manual. Bamber - yes sorry I did mean flue liner. I did a short post on this but the whole history is that the builder installed a 100mm flue liner for use with this fire. A corgi guy checked all the...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right forum. We will be moving house in the next month or so - does anyone know if its cheaper to move the SKY+ with you or to get a new contract so you can get a better box etc? We will be out of the contract by the time we move and not sure it its worth...

Hi everyone, We have a garage that we are converting into a habitable room (we have all planning permission in place). The garage is attached to the house and has a bedroom already built above it. Building control have asked us to insulate the side wall of the garage with 75mm and the...

Woody - I agree with you. We are not out to do anyone any injustice and all the work we did was done with agreement. The neighbours let us into their home to have the liner connected! They have now chnaged their mind and unfornate for us - we dont have anything in writing except the fact...

Hi Richard C thanks for your message. The chosen flu liner was put in with instructiojn from building control - so i guess we need to talk to them. It has now all been connected up to the neighbours gas fire. So if we change i9t for them - if they then use a coal fire - they will have to get...

Big -all I agree with you. But what should we do?
