was this right.

Plastered a chimney breat and the client asked me to install a flue liner for a stove. What I did was put the long bendy flue liner down the clay liners, bent it without damaging it and plastered around it. Now I'm wondering did I do this properly! If I've did it wrong, can you advise me on how its done so I can rectify it for the client. Just for the record, I won't be installing the stove or attaching the stove to the liner. Its just the client asked could I put the liner in before plastering.

did you use the correct liner suitable for a solid fuel stove or did use a gas liner? best not to do things you have no idea about imho

Much depends on liner and termination details. Gas flue unsuitable for sold fuel. Solid fuel flue is directional. Diameter depends on stove and fuel.

So basically, if it's wrong, more money for you to go put the right one in because you were only doing as the customer asked.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, builders and roofers fit liners for us all the time.

Therse a few things to consider, they've already been posted - the size of the liner and direction you put it down the chimney.

Anything over a 5KW stove ideally needs a 6 inch liner. I fitted one last year and I'm sure it had a 8 inch outlet on it.

If you look at the stamps on them, they have arrows pointing to one end. These arrows are pointing to the top of the liner.

I'm confused as you what you mean 'plastered around it'. I presume you just plastered inside the fireplace opening?

only obeying orders has been used as an excuse before, didnt win them the case though.....

the plaster will most likely crack and blister of as soon as a stove is lit.
but let whoever is doing/registering the install worry about it.

We no longer plaster next to the stove for that exact reason, Simon. We use fireboard and paint it for the customer now.

There's no regs for distance to non combustibles, although there's recommendations.
