Flue installation

mickydcork

Hi
I'm looking for the name of a builder who would do a flue installation for my wood burning stove. Dublin area.

I have all the parts pre-purchased.

PM me please.

is the burner being installed in an existing fire with a flue lined chimney brest or being installed in a new area of the property?

Hi
The stove is being installed in an existing fireplace which has had the fireback removed. There has being plasterboard inserted into the fireplace which I reckon will have to be removed as it wouldn't be suitable for high temps. There is an 8" clay lined chimney brest.

I have a 5" flexible metal liner and all the connecting pieces.

I'm just not confident of doing it myself and would be fearful of going up on the roof.

I'd say it's very do-able though. Probably a few hours work for a competent person.

The liner should be 6" for solid fuel
5" is only for wood burning
How do you intend on connecting flue to stove. you can't go straight into the stove with the flexi

AFAIK 5" can be used if your stove is defra approved for smoke free zones. Mine is a morso 1412, defra approved.

I have a two foot vitreous enamel pipe to connect to stove.

Yes 5" can be used for defra approved in the UK but defra isn't recognised here so it has to comply with Irish building regs
The connecting flue pipe is right

Do you know where I could get Vermiculite (mycafil), fire cement and fire proof silicone somewhere in south dublin?

Also do you have to have a register plate where your flue pipe enters the existing clay flue or could you just secure it with fire cement and then backfill with vermiculite?

Cheers
Mick

Don't know where you get vermiculite in Dublin based 50mile away.
If your backfilling you need a register plate at the flue connection for the backfill.
It's not nessesary to backfill but it makes
the flue even more efficient it's insulated within the flue liners anyway
