The clay liners would have been fitted when the chimney was built.
Regarding ceiling render, do you mean the register plate, ?

When I opened up the hole in the corner to fit a stove I was able to
look up through the concrete ceiling and see all the clay liners. I just wondered how they were all connected to the wall.
Yes its the ceiling around the bottom of the flue that I need to
cement.

Depends how big the hole is, if its not to big then use fire cement.
If its a large hole then mix some vermiculite with cement (light weight concrete) might have to fit a bit of shuttering up to hold it, until its set.

What sort of stove are you fitting?
He has a multi fuel stove, already fitted.
So he does, I'm obviously not paying enough attention
sirrius2 So you installed the stove! Are you aware that fitting a stove is notifyable building work, subject to several Building Regulations & Building Notice submission unless you use a registered HETAS installer? I'm a little concerned that you don’t appear to know a great deal about what your doing! Get it wrong & you could kill yourself & your family; additionally, you will invalidate your house insurance in the event of a problem with it if you cannot produce a compliance certificate.
My friend I know exactly what I am doing with regards to the stove. It was fitted 18 years ago.
My question was how do I cement the ceiling of the fireplace in which it sits. Also I was curious to know how the clay liner pots were attached to the walls.
