Woodburner with horizontal flu building regs

[bernardgreen]

The one that came to mind was a very tall internal flue ( about 9 metres in open indoor space. ) where the manufacturer's instructions required rigid fixing where it went through the roof. Building control wanted a flexible fixture to allow for thermal expansion of the flue. BCO won the day.

OP, There are no dimensions given and a picture from outside would give people a better idea to help you.
Each manufacturer has individual clearances around their stoves depending whether its from combustable or non combustable materials...convector type stoves usually can be fitted closer.
For hearth sizes, this simplifies things:

A flue going at 45 degrees through the wall is the prefered way but involves more expence than horozontal as more wall needs cutting out or a core drilling rig is needed .
You must have good reason to abandon your old chimney but I would line it rather than have an ugly steel one running up the wall

The last Selkirk 150mm flue I fitted cost around £1500 in parts alone which didnt require any ofsets to take it around soffits

As long as you can support the chimney breast in the room/loft above, and still get the flue pipe safely past the steel/beam that supports it, then there's nothing to stop you removing the chimney breast, and sitting the stove on on open hearth. If you have no issue with a stove pipe that goes straight up, then there shouldn't be an issue.

Sorry for slow response.
Ive decided to completely take down the chimney breast and have a freestanding woodburner. The flue would then go up vertically and then diagonally through the exterior wall and up above the roof line. I would be getting a HETAS approved installer to do this. Do I need Planning Permission or Building Regs for this?
Thanks
