the sales dude told me the lining the chimney depends on its age and construction and would recommend we had it looked at first. he said most DO require the lining and cap etc. but every now and then some don't.
for a small 4kw stove, with lining and install two places have quoted us between £1400-£2000 fully installed. (based on a £700 stove)
Useful tip: The glass doors tend to get a little coated with tar after a while. They clean up fine with some make up removal wipes. Better get permission first though.
As regards insulating a liner, I believe depends on the type of chimney. Large old brick built on an external wall would benefit, whereas small terracotta internal may not.
I spoke to my Buildings Control officer, and a building regs notice would cost me £204 (its base on the retail cost of the installation).
I have been quoted just under £1000 for installation only of wood burner and supply & fit of liner.
I've had a wood burner installed since 2009 - its great!
I went for the Aga little Wenlock, what a great little stove. My house was built in 2005 and was told no need to line the chimney in a modern home and to be honest I totally agree, could not expect better from this stove. The cost was £600 for stove accessories and £250 fitting. We have it on most nights burn pine, birch and compressed wood chip logs.
Doesn't it look small in the big fire-place!
Two questions, what is the power rating of that particular stove and how much do you expect to pay for firewood?
