oakey 57 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Ive got a conservatory on the back of my house with no heating in ,ive been thinking of putting a woodburner made of a gas bottle out there for this winter as we have a lot of scrap wood at work so i could fuel it FREE . But as i live mid terrace i was wondering how i come off for the chimney as it would be only a short one and underneath the bedroom windows of next door although out about 8ft from the wall . dose anyone know the building regulations on this ?

trappa 518 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Just playing devils advocate here but if you put a chimney 8ft from MY bedroom window i would kick up one hell of a stink, pardon the pun. Good luck fella as id love a burner myself but can see this causing a monster headache. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAIN MAN 277 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 You would need permition for sure! also the chimney would need to be 1.200 above the ridge or .600 below due to a down draft so way above any bedrooms. but get some propper advice mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may be right may be ill look into getting a flue put up the wall so its above the window .(Is that you in your avatar or carl pilkington the chap with ricky gervase ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
just jack 998 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 i would agree with main man on this, you only have to look about and there wont be a chimney under the ridge of the house, unless it is void and been capped off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 4,386 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 i would agree with main man on this, you only have to look about and there wont be a chimney under the ridge of the house, unless it is void and been capped off yes most chimneys should be over the ridge,its a grey area the chimney regs,also a hetas reg person only can now install wood burners,if you do it to the regs,i know on a new build its normally brick chimney,with a concrete liner,then a twin walled flue down to burner,with vermiculite around,although there are several different options,ie high performance flue liners(no need for any flue) or if the chinmey is rendered inside sometimes you can just have this,some regs wont a crank in the breast to create draw,its a minefield if you follow the regs.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Best idea is to talk a professional, as burning wood lets of carbon monoxide, you'd be in deep s**t if you gas your next door neibours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
