My single skin but heavy SS stove liner came in a little (but not much) less for a similar length. The liner was stupidly expensive, the labour cost was such a small fraction of the overall cost that I really couldn't be bothered.
A hideously expensive business altogether. Here in south east a grand is the ball park figure. Maybe if there were more HETAS practitioners, the price would drop.
You having reading problems again? Everything you've said apart from "flexible" is wrong.
"A twin skin multi fuel flexible chimney liner used for relining masonry chimney stacks. Manufactured in stainless steel, 316 grade inner, 316 grade outer."
Can't quote chapter and verse on this, but there's something definitely wrong there. Maybe the stacks I know about are pre 1969 or something, or maybe your understanding of building regs and their application to existing chimneys is wrong (can you cite?), but lining with flexible liner is the norm. Insulation put outside it. The one you pointed to isn't intended for use inside a chimney, but as a nice chimney where there wasn't one there before.
(checks. Yes. According to that site, you are talking bollocks. OP was asking for a chimney liner - that's sold under the section "Chimney liners". You've pointed to standalone flues, not intended to be put inside existing chimneys.)
We had ours done fairly recently for a similar price.
Yes (at least as far as I could see when cut), yes, que, and no I can't.
It was a heavy guage (therefore hopefully long lived) flexible SS liner installed by a HETAS person to meet all required regs.
Uninsulated and single skin - the brick stack had supported coal fires before, but the stove requires a smaller cross sectional area and the stack is probably on its last legs regarding not being leaky to flue gases - but it is still quite capable of withstanding the heat. Which is nice as some of the otherwise wasted heat comes out in other rooms via a warm breast (oooh er)
mmm could be wrong but i bet my troll finding fiver that that's actually a twin walled SS flexi liner - to look at they're not obviously twin walled til you inspect closer and see how they make it....
The circumstances in whch a flexible flue liener MAY be used in a chimney are, if:
The liner is in accordance with BS715 1989 and
The chimney was built before 1 February 1966, or it is already lined, or constructed of flue blocks in accordance with the approved document." Building regs 2000
