    It depends.

    I have an insert that bolts onto the existing fireback using a metal arm, with one small bolt drilled into the hearth floor. A very simple fit.

    A complex one might be where the insert requires the fireback to be removed, or it forms part of a hot water circuit.

    If you've paid already I'd be inclined to forget about it - you're unlikely get a refund regardless.

    If its a non boiler insert and you supplied all the fitting and materials, you were robbed blind. The fire back will be taken out in 15 mins no problem.

    If however your fitter supplied twin wall flue and cowel and the vitreous Enamel bends and vermiculite its still expensive but not as bad.

    If its a boiler stove it sounds about right

    Do you mind if i ask which insert you have and how you find it. Did you fit it yourself and does it have to be taken out to clean the chimney. Thanks.

    Hi all
    I'm living in a old house that has a open fire. The chimney has no clay pipe in the pipe inside it blocks shaped around the are in great nix. The room was never used. We are thinking of putting in a insert stove. Is it possible to connect the insert stove to the brick lined chimney???? Great to hear your views

    I would say without a doubt I would be using a flue liner in it.

    Why would you recommend the flue linear ? And what would you think I'd need in a bungalow to do the job right?
