Hi ,we have gas fire installed in our sitting room at present,the chimney has been taken down at first floor level because we have had new roof to our bungalow with rooms in the loft area.We want to have flue installed through the roof so we can use the gas fire downstairs again.
Our gas fire installer called the fire manufacturer who did not know if we need flue all the way from the fire to the top of the roof or just from the plate level on the first floor.
The installer rang the local gas safe inspector who said that he can install ridgid flue from first floor level with plate over the chimney ,testing that it is sealed and no fumes leaking through.
Does anyone know if this is how it is done? Another installer said that he would put flexible flue from the fire up through the chimney to first floor with plate over the chimney and then ridgid flue out through the roof .
What is the right way (safe way)
