twin wall flue

dougpearce

hi

i have been given a woodburning stove for xmas and wondered if anyone can tell me the best place to buy my flue from.

it will be freestanding, and am looking at running the flue on the outside wall hence it needs to be a twin wall.

i have read the building regs and am confident i can do the work myself and then get the building control in for it to be signed off.

i have a small budget so if anyone can help i would be very grateful

thanks in advance

Small budgets and SS twin wall flue are not posible I'm afraid,last year I fitted one in my Sons barn conversion..no change from£1000 which includes a 135 Tee box and enough straights for the equivilent height of a two story house..it went straight up so bends were not needed to take it round the facias.
I got it from stove on line who on their website have help with planning and the regulations.I can get stove and flue bit trade price but their price was better.
I was looking to put another stove in our lounge but to hire the core cutter and jig to cut a neat hole through the wall was nearly £300
Out of interest,what make and model is your stove?

Twin wall flues are very expensive!

You also need the correct one to carry the products away

Yeah there's fluesystems.com as mentioned......pretty cheap but not the best twin wall flue. You get what you pay for. We use the Poujoulat brand, it's very nice flue. Expect to pay around 1-1.5k for parts to do a 2 storey house. I read somehwere that it was expensive to hire a core drill to make the hole. We don't use a core drill. It's easy and very tidy if done with a jack hammer. Simply make the hole 2 inch bigger than the flue and point up afterwards.

We tried using core drills and they did make a tidy hole but it was no quicker, the end result looked no better and they need to be drilled wet when you get into 10" diameter holes and this makes an awful mess inside the house.
