They do the boards in 45mm thick too, but obviously dearer, double the price. Worth it for greater longevity?

This is the current set up at the moment... Just want to have the new pot matching roughly with the one bottom left of this photo

Anyone?

Hi all Going to use horizontal Siberian larch fencing for the end of my garden (20mm by 95mm PAR), about 12 metres. Got fairly old concrete posts already in place, just trying to come up with how to attach the larch to these concrete posts. Was thinking of attaching timbers to the sides of the...

Hi Just measured up to get a matching pot for my chimney, what height is normally covered by the haunching around the pot? The pot is showing 450mm above this Thanks

Its about 12 inches deep, dont know about similar properties on the road but I will investigate. When you say gather do you mean how the chimney narrows just above the opening going up inside the chimney breast?

Yes a working fire going in how much it will be used to be honest I’m not sure. Tried lighting a fire and no pull at all. Also my sister didn’t line her chimney and had problems with smoke going into kids bedroom from chimney, when fire lit in sitting room so prob mortar no good. So I thought I...

Our BCO says he doesn’t do chimneys for insurance reasons, annoyingly.... Phoned another couple of installers, won’t install stove unless their liner :(

no it’s not straight. A chap who suggested it thinks will need to break into chimney breast which is fine where we haven’t plastered yet but just got the loft plastered :whistle:

@lostinthelight Ever put a 200mm flue liner down without any problems??!:)

We're in London so in a smokeless zone, so would it be of no benefit to put a 6" as opposed to 5"?

Yep weve got a BCO involved already, the only thing is I was going to get the fireplace company to install the stove and the ones I have spoken to say they want to install the liner themselves. Of course they would to get the extra dough. But I suppose when it comes to doing the job they are...

No we put up the scaffolding for other work, to put in a 5 inch 904 grade liner, and an 8 inch 904 grade liner for an open fire, plus labour they want £2250! Yes I live in London ;):whistle:

Yes scaffolding up now so was thinking about getting on with it. Im only a competent (just about) DIYer but other people on the job know what they are doing. Was going to employ someone to fit log burner later but everyone who I have spoken to says they would normally fit the liner them selves...

Hi all In the middle of completely renovating our house, and we are going to be installing a log burner in the front room and having an open fire in a room in the back. We've got scaffolding up all around so was thinking it was a good time to put in flue liners now if needed, even though we...

The other option is to use this brick which we have used on the ground floor. Looks well now compared with the existing first floor. But dont know if it will look a bit odd to use it directly next to the first floor if you know what I mean.....

The textured paint was thick and removed with abrasive discs, raked out and will be pointed with lime mortar
