The tenant uses the fire a lot as he's a bit of a hermit, stays in one room and uses the fire instead of the CH.

By the looks of the chimney stack outside, it probably does require a liner lol. Obviously pointless removing a liner to then refit it, regardless of condition.

Shame you can't just stick a drain camera down to check the condition

liners must be guaranteed for 15 years the only way you can check its integrity is to remove it and inspect if in any doubht replace

Try to stay away from gas fires myself but found this an interesting quote - you are saying that if you fit a gas fire with a liner then you need to remove the liner to check as the flue flow test wont suffice?

I try to steer clear as well, there's just no money in them.They always take longer than you think. There's nearly always an issue, surrounds not being sealed,under size pipe work etc etc. I just stick to servicing them where I can.

This is why I don't do them generally.
