Morning!
Sorry if this is in the incorrect forum.
I have a Flavel Regent radiant fire, connected to an original 50's unlined brick chimney (so, I guess, a class I flue). The chimney pot (I believe a "Louvre" anti-downdraught pot) is pictured below.
The CORGI guy came yesterday to do a safety check, and disconnected the fire as he says it wasn't drawing properely (smoke matches leaked into room through the vent on top). He thinks it might be the pot but didn't seem sure.
Can anyone confirm if the pot could stop the fire drawing? Is it worth getting a second opinion? I phoned a chimney pot shop who disagreed and said that the pot was suitable. I swept the chimney myself a couple of weeks ago and saw the brushes coming out of the pot myself.
Thanks very much!
