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 all, I hope this post is in the correct section. We have a radiant gas fire about 20 years old. Please can you advise the chimney liner diameter that should be used with this. Many thanks.

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...

Thanks for your replies everyone. Just an update - spoke to BC and the insulation for the ceiling is not compulsory and only a recommendation for sound proofing. Thanks for your advice though.xx

Thank you for your replies. John D - Not sure if it is a cavity wall. On the otherside is the neighbours garage wall too so not sure how I can tell if its a cavity wall. Will give BC a call tomorrow!

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?

Hi everyone - i really am appreciating your replies. Big-all - yes you are right re how the chimney is. It was just how you described it. So we have taken it back on our side but their is still a flu in the party wall for the neighbours to use. Richard C - the new liner used is for a gas...

Big All - they understood everything fully! Think they are juist out to cause trouble and get some money from us! We dont have the gas fire - they do. The chimney was shared so part of their fumes go through our house. They still do - all we have done is taken the bulk of the chimney away...

It was definately the owners of the house! :D

Thank you all for your replies. Woody - we dont know who the surveyors are as they have not wriiten their details in the solictors letter. You are right - the letter is very strong worded and also states that the flue put in the chimney is now tresspassing in their house! They allowed the...

Hi there, Thanks for your reply - no we didnt get one. We didnt know we needed to get one until now! We started the work and then realised it was a shared chimney so we (neighbour) agreed to get building control to ensure the work was done correctly. HELP!!!! :)
