Hi
I have just bought a new house and intend on doing it up top to bottom. Advise i need though is regards to the old back boiler. I have removed the back boiler leaving in the long tn flue that goes right the way up the chimney. What i need to know is do i need to remove this to install a modern gas fire (along with a smoke test) Or is this in due to the 1960s chimney not being tight enough to take the fumes without it?
Is it safe to remove and use the bricked chimney or should it stay but buy a attachment box?
Thanks in advance
