Inset stove and timber surround

    We are changing our fire surround and we want to put in a timber surround with the current inset stove. We'd probably have cast iron between the timber and the stove and a marble hearth. During the renovation, the builder will also put on fire proofed boarding (I have no idea what the technical term for that is). So can we do this? I've been told twice that we can't put timber with an inset stove. Will it have implications with our insurance?

    Every stove manufacturer gives a distance from combustibles you must not have timber or any other combustible material within this distance if worse case fire happens insurance will be looking for the fitter as it wouldn't be fitted to manufacturers instructions or building regs

    Thanks Robbie.g. The stove was already here when we moved in so I've no idea who the manufacturer is or what the model is.
