    Hi, had a 5kw Henley stove fitted about a year ago. It's a standalone with flue exposed for about a metre and then goes out at 45 degrees under the eaves.



    All going well (and with the weather) didn't need to be fired up too often. About a month or so ago, water started to (very slowly) drip on the underside of the flue. I assume the water is coming in through a leak where the flue was secured in the external wall?



    Solutions?

    Jubilee clip some metal to the outside of the flue to act as a drip stop. Water will hit it and drop there rather than continue down.

    Id be concerned about the weather proofing though on the wall of the house. Is their silicone is it heat resistant. If waters coming in air is too.
