I want to have a gas fire fitted to an existing flue in an external external wall which I need to dry-line (3x2 studs, rockwool fill and plasterboard) - Oh tyhe joys of a 300 year old building and modern building regs! Any idea how big a gap I need to leave in the studding (I assume there is a reg about proximity of fire to combustible materials) so that I can do the studding before inviting the nice Corgi man to come and relieve me of lots of money.
