Advice for converting gas fireplace
lisass
Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi all,
My partner and I have just moved to a newish home (1999) with the original gas fireplace that we would like to replace, ideally with a wood burning stove or an open fire.
We have already had the gas supply capped off so we are ready to pull the gas fire out. We also definitely have a chimney as you can see it built up the side of our house so I believe in right in thinking this is a chimney and not just a flue for the gas fire.
We're both pretty handy and would be happy to do the work ourselves but I'm struggling a bit to pin down the details through my googling. I was hoping someone here might be able to enlighten me on what we need to do next and things we need to consider when doing the work.
Thanks in advance

You'd need a HETAS installer. There's quite stringent regs associated with fire installations of any kind these days.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
