Hi all.
I've just spent a long while wading through the archives for an answer to my question/s and couldn't find anything.
Maybe you can help.
I've just had my flue swept and a I've installed a 5" flexible liner (7" wouldn't fit)
The sweep said that I wont be able to install a 'real-effect' gas fire with a 5" flue. Apparantly my class 1 chimney is now a class 2 and you cant put a real-effect in a class 2.
This is really annoying because I've spent a lot of time ripping out the old fire and completely rebuilding the front of the fireplace with the hope of having a R-E Fire installed.
So is he right or is he wrong?
