Hi All,
I've come across a bit of a problem with the flue on my gas fire and just wanted to pick a few brains as to what to do.
I live in a modern house, built around 2000, it has an open gas fire i.e. one that has fake coals in the base, the flame come through them and up the flue above. The flue then goes up the wall into the loft and out the roof. It finishes in a chrome chimney pipe, for want of a better expression :-)
I just happened to be sitting in front of a few days ago while it was cold a windy and realised that I'm getting a draft come down the flue and into the lounge. Although it isn't something I would DIY, gas is the only thing I don't touch, it is going to be as simple getting somebody to install some form of anti-downdraught device? Or does it get very complicated when messing around with flues?
Many thanks for any advice & tips. Ryan
