Had been warned this might cost a bit but wow...
Replacing the gas convection heater in an edwardian semi with a traditional open, solid fuel fireplace.
Failed smoke test so been advised the chimney needs lining.
Gieven we are burning solid fuel been told this has to be a specific grade of lining, 904.
Quote we have had is:
To supply and install liner. Cowl and flue gatherer:904 grade suitable for wood, smokeless fuel and coal £1145
Installation of fireplace (combination style cast iron) and hearth . issuance of certificate of compliance and notification of local building control (legal requirement) supply and install floor vents £495
So, just shy of £1700! This is for an Edwardian semi in Manchester. Chimney is about 12m.
Fitter is HETAS and Gas Safe. We have had a roofer who install linings as a side line quote approx £300 but would prefer a professional fiter.
So, is the original quote what we have to accept for a professional to do the job?
Many thanks
Matt

My woodbuner in Surrey, double lined flue, honed granite hearth, and stove, was £2,500.
I would get a few more quotes from a pro, but it doesnt look too bad, a little bit steep but not too bad.
DONT go with a cowboy. Poorly installed fires kill.0 -
Thanks Martin. Completely agree I'm amazed how relaxed some people are about installing linings when they don't know what they're doing.
Would rather pay a few bob more and sleep soundly!0 -
