With free standing stoves is there a min clearance from back and sides of stove to adjacent brickwork.
There are no legal recommended distances to non-combustible materials (i.e. it is not covered by Approved Document J) but every stove will have it’s unique required distance to non-combustible materials as set out by the manufacturer
Hi we have a log burner coming soon which has a 125mm 5inch flue the hole we currently have going up the chimney is 150mm 6inch what is it I need to make this happen so the hole up to the chimney is covered thanks in advance. Chris
I would need a little further information as to what the ‘hole’ is but it sounds like you possibly have an existing concrete or pummice liner in there and so you would simply require a Sump or Pumice Liner adapter to take you from the 125mm stove pipe to the 150mm ‘hole’.
