Thank you! That’s really good to know that if only related to porches! X

Thanks! Is planning just for anything over 3m2? Or would it be needed regardless of size?

Thank you! Thats really helpful, we want to move our lounge around a bit… so having the extra space (large bay window) to fit maybe a cuddle armchair or a small two seater would be perfect… depends how big / small they can go with the bay window!!

Hi everyone, I'm just looking for a rough cost to have a gas box moved - moved where I don't know. Basically it's right outside our living room window currently, and we are playing with the idea of having the window taken out and having a bay window installed which will mean moving the gas box...

Hi all, I’d like to get a vanity cupboard installed under my current sink - if not possible would like to get a new sink with a vanity unit attached… Is this possible with the current set up whereby there’s boxing in work covering the pipe work from I believe the bath and also the sink itself...

Thank so much!!

Oh maybe I will try the Amazon one then… the reviews are decent, but yeah like you said luck of the draw! No idea what the boards are made of, I didn’t ask, just know they are obviously non combustible, hopefully the heat doesn’t get trapped on the sides, but with our burner last winter the...

Do you happen to know the name of the brand? I don’t mind paying more for one as long as it’s going to do the job and not break in a years time!

That’s as wide as it could go at the sides we’ve been told, so there has just been a small increase at the sides then the original set up - the only way to get more space is to change our burner which is currently an Hunter Allure 5 and replace with the smaller version Allure 4… but I’m hopeful...

Hey! @Burnerman @oldbutnotdead We’ve had the recess opened up as much as possible. The space above the wood burner has increased from 2 inches to 9 inches and the space on the sides has increased from 2 inches to 3 inches (it wasn’t possible to open it up anymore due to the external chimney...

But during the old weather last week we bought from for like £70 and there’s so much wood, but the fire only goes on in the evenings unless it’s freezing during day time and I am working from home!

Damn it. Looks like completely removing the current surround would be the only option then as I wouldn’t want to get a smaller stove - that one is pretty much the smallest! Yeah there is a plate just inside the recess about half an inch up, it’s completely blocked off with a hole where the...

I can’t pull the current drive out without the need to increase the hearth significantly! So I believe the only options are To get a smaller stove which will only give me 6” space above the stove for the air gap. Or to completely remove the stone fireplace surround and hearth and increase the...

@Burnerman I have the option to switch from an Allure 05 burner to an Aspect 4… This will mean little cost as won’t need to touch the current surround or hearth but will only give me 6” of space above the stove (compared to the 2”) now… worth it? And probs like an extra inch either side of the...

Agree thank you!

Thanks so much. Yeah this forum got a little manic! I have the funds it was just seeing people comment that it isn’t worth it put me off, but what you’ve said makes complete sense. I’ve been in homes with wood burners in (they have all had much more space around them) and they seem to offer...

Our sofa is far back we are hardly looking up really, guises it just looks it from the photo!

Oh really? @Burnerman @Mr Chibs any more thoughts?

I am going off what the 6 other people in this forum have said. And looking online at stove installations they all have decent space above. Could the heat not get forced and lost in the walls? Thus not all of it entering the room like it would if there were more space?

This wouldn’t be a fair test? This fan could only be placed on the hearth which doesn’t get hot and is by the foot of the stove. It needs to be on top to catch the rising heat in order to push it out?
