BluebeardUK Apart from the hijack, are you aware that installing a stove is controlled building work 
It's notifyable to your LABC for inspection & possible witness test unless you use a HETAS registered installer. Thats in addition to the structural work you appear to be doing on the chmney breast itself. You will need a compliance certificate (issued by one or the other) for the stove if you want to avoid problems when you sell & to avoid the risk of invalidating your property insurance in the event of a problem.
Additionally, how do you know the existinng flue is;
a) suitable for use with solid fuel
b) is sound & fit for further use
