Stove and new flu

    Hi all,

    I am looking to fit a stove in a room with an external side wall on my house. The house is a timberframe, cavity block clad house build in 2000.

    The new flu wil have to go through the wall, and up the side of the house.

    Different stove companies have all said different things regarding the length of the flu, whether it can be terminated before the roof of the house, ect.

    Is it possible to run the flu up the side of the house for about 2m, then terminate it with an angled "plate"? One of the neighbours has fitted something very similar in the last few months. The top of the flu definatly does not come above the eaves of the house.

    The external wall of the house isn't the main wall of the house. It is a converted garage, with a dormer room above it.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks, Ken.

    see page 6 here.

    it sounds like what you suggest would be in contravention of the building regulations.
    The outlet of a chimney or flue pipe should also be not less than 1 m above the top of any opening skylight, opening
    window or wall ventilator within 2.3 m
    can you clarify if you have any other the above within 2.3 m of where the flue would be going?

    Thanks for the reply!

    There are no windows or doors on the wall. There would be a room vent within about 1m of the flu itself, but i'd hope the top of the flu would be more than the 2.3m away from the vent diagonally.

    The main issue was ending the flu half way up the side of the wall, and whether this would be within the regulations.
