log burner

Hi all, I’ve recently moved into a new house and the log burner has this on the join - it feels likely we are missing something - I thought it may be the rope you see on the inside of the door but should there be a cover as well? I don’t have any clue when it comes to log burners so any help...

Hi folks, I've recently removed a gas fire with the plans to put in its place a log burner. I want to tile the surrounding internal space but in order to do so presumably need to render the internal space first? I understand, from other forums, plasterboard, whether heat resistant or not...

Hi everyone. I really apppreciate any advice. I have a wood burning stove with a flue that terminates just above a sealed fireboard. I've had a WBS company check it out and they said this is unusual, and it needs a whole new flue liner etc to meet modern regs and to brun properly. They say as...

Hi Looking to install a log burner. After opening up a fireplace we'd ideally like the oak beam to site close to the opening but all I can read is that there is a minimum of 3 x flue size. Is there a way to reduce this and how would it work?

I want to install a log burner in this opening. It has a brick arch lintel that sits fairly low (84cm if you include the bricks at the base). I want to install a lintel and box it off but I'm struggling to work out how I can do this in the least invasive way possible. I think at the very least...

I want to install a log burner in my living room. There is an old fire place opening but it's behind a plaster board wall which is also battened with wood. I am confident where to find the opening but I don't think the wood and plaster board around the opening will be acceptable to any hetas...

Hello, I'm moving into my house next week and one of the first things I want to do is remove the existing gas fire and surround (see image below) and put in a gas or electric stove (a proper wood burner wouldn't work with the existing flue from what I've been told). As you can see, the chimney...

Hi, I'm having a double-sided log burner installed in my kitchen diner and I've been told I need a hearth. The appliance will sit in the centre of the room at least 2+ metres away from any furnishing, etc. However, the flooring will be 22mm limestone tiling throughout so I don't see why I need...

Morning, I'm building a hearth for a log burner. Plan is to use bricks to build it up from the concrete subfloor. I need to level before tiling. Can I shutter it and pour a thin (say 5mm) layer of self levelling screed to give me a flat surface to tile from? My concern is heating might cause...

Hi everyone, We’ve had an absolute disaster of a HETAS registered log burner installation. Finally 3 months after installation we can finally use it and it’s wonderful. We have twin wall flue, going up internally through the bedroom and into the very small loft space (2.5 ft max). We’ve had a...

Hi I'm doing up the living room and I've had it plastered including inside the fireplace which has a log burner in it. The plasterer has put fibreboard inside the fireplace and not skimmed it because he said the heat would crack the plaster. Planning to paint this board with heat proof paint...
