Adding solid fuel stove in attic of old house with existing chimney
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.43 PM
My house is an 1850 build. There is a chimney breast all the way through the house, and these days the only solid fuel stove is in the living room. What I'd like to do is somehow install a new solid fuel stove in the attic room, as there is no central heating up there... plus a fire up there would make it super cosy. The chimney breast is visible on one side of attic space, so, what would be involved? Quite apart from the building/installation challenge, would I also need building regs sign off? And it's a listed building.. (grade 2) not sure if that complicates matters?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
