Condemned Multi Fuel Stove - the next steps.

[PabloDeNiro]

Morning all
Had this installation done in 2017 and recently been condemned for non compliant installation.
Looking for quotes to fix the work and so surprised that so many engineers who have said they cannot do the job, it is too complex.
Can anyone help with any advice, I am not sure if I am asking the right questions, but really need to get this sorted asap now,
Stove flue goes up into adjoint wall with next door, attaches to liner above which goes through chimney breast in bedroom above and into attic.
Sorry to be a pain, just really looking for some help and advice.
Best wishes.

Cant make head nor tail from the pics as not very clear .whats the size and type of liner it joins to and how jointed. The obvious , the stove being free standing should be on a min of 840mm x 840mm slab .Cant see anything supporting the weight of the flue and maybe no clamps on the joints.

Tbh, I dont think anyone would certify an install with 7year old flue but would rip it out and fit new.
Under what circumstances was illegal install dicovered?

SEVEN year old flue !!!????? Three year old flue ? !

I would contact HETAS and the original installer ( if he wasn't HETAS registered it's a problem ).
Was the original installation notified to building control ?
Have you had the chimney swept regularly at the start and end of the heating season and recieved a certificate for the work ?

If the install is illegal and not registered they don't use it until it's correct if it causes a fire your home insures won't cover a claim.

Hearth is incorrect and the joints at the ceiling look questionable.

Well 2017 s got a seven in
but its still a used flue someone has to put their name to.
I ve seen some poor Hetas installs but can't see that being one by the slab alone

Where the flue goes through the ceilng it looks dodgy ......how near is to a joist I wonder .......easy enough to sort that out.

Can't see it being much of a problem to put right.
