Hi,
Newbie here. I need some advice. I'm getting cavity wall insulation and loft insulation installed by a company on one of them grant schemes. However they've said they can only do it if our chimney is blocked off. Is that correct? It seems odd as friends and family i've spoken to have said this was never asked of them.
The chimney is in the middle of the property, the flue doesn't touch any external walls and runs straight through the loft.
The insulation people are coming in the next fortnight and i don't really want to bother with blocking up the chimney at the moment. I'd rather do it when i have more time. I just really want to get the loft and cavity wall insulation done and out of the way first.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
