I found it easier to pull it up, make the end of the liner as round as you can, paper and tape I used last time, and pull it up on a chord or rope. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,804 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I have a cunning plan. I have it 2 meters to long....so I'm going to cut it into a really long cone at the end, fasten a length of rachet strap to it and pull like fck. Failing that I will stick a few feet up the chimney and fck health and safety Edited September 10, 2018 by DIDO.1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gonna try pulling it up next That's how I done mine, it was a ball ache, and I had a 4 foot hole (register plate not fitted) to work with, got there with loads of sweat and swearing. if the chimney has been built properly it should have a bend in it to get the draw, that's usually where it balls up, I was lucky and could see mine so guided it with a broom handle while one pulled and one pushed, was like a carry on film.

If your house is pre 92 you don't need a liner, my present house was built in 1925, so building regs state that I don't need one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

foxdropper 17,092 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Just for reference lads ,no tradesmen needed .They can be fitted on a building notice through building control .The burner must have a minimum of 300mm clearance round it .The hearth must be of dense construction and a minimum of 300mm beyond the front of the burger. Best way to fireproof back and sides is to use glass rock ,a fireproof board that can be dabbed onto a wall then painted .plaster needs keeping away minimum of 300mm or will crack like a bitch .Those advocating no liner or bits if liner need to rethink. Chimney fires kill. Pot liners need no flu but building control can insist if no survey is available. Prefer the brick build myself but then again I’m a builder . This is ours . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
