Chid 6,643 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 External flue maybe worth a thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 cant mate it goes into the small ally between both houses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Where are you? Regulations in England and Wales state you need the chimney lined all the way up. Wouldn't fancy a pipe only a metre up, soot will collect around it on top of the register plate and cause a fire hazard unless you can get to it and clean it out. You'd probably have to have your chimney rebuilt if its been taken down and tiled over and all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

These are the regs that apply in England and Wales: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADJ_2010.pdf The flue needs to to be the same size as the output of the stove, which generally means fitting a liner to a chimney originally build for an open fire..

mushroom 13,395 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Run a flue straight up in the same room as the stove, just before the ceiling run it outside Should get round the narrow alley problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,276 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Look up double walled flu, can go straight through roof/ceiling with these. Prefabricated zinc/lead flashing dressed into tiles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waz 4,276 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For 10 years have just had flu out the back of the woodburner go up existing chimney for 1 metre..... mildest winter ever here, have used less than half the normal amount of wood, and probably a pint glass of soot fallen, if that! Always swept the chimney myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noddy10 411 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Look up double walled flu, can go straight through roof/ceiling with these. Prefabricated zinc/lead flashing dressed into tiles that seems better, I would do that but don't fancy building a chimney stack. its a shared allyway only about 7ft high and 3ft wide couldn't get it comeing out of there.

Take it up to 7 feet inside then run it through the wall with a 45 elbow once outside run it vertical. Above 6'6" you should be fine and the pipe should be no more than 30cm from outer face of flue to the wall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lapin2008 1,587 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 its not that much to get the whole flu lined anyway, cant remember exactly how much but it was less than half a days work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
