Hi:) It really depends on the fireplace itself and your ability. Ie inset/frestanding, distance to combustibles, hearth requirements etc. Flue details etc. Some of these details will come in the stoves installation instructions.

If you have the needed skills and carefully adhere to the stoves installation instructions then I'm sure you can do it. Read them several times:)

Don't forget to smoke test the flue and fit any needed ventilation.

If you have doubts the last thing we want is a fire or a death caused by a faulty stove installation:eek:.
Get an installer in if you have any doubts:)!!

Don't forget to fit a carbon monoxide alarm in the same room as the stove:)

Any chance of a picture of the fireplace? This would help to see whats involved. Any idea which stove you would be buying?
