My house has a chimeny breast that only goes up as far as the floor of the loft. I would like to install a woodburner stove in the lounge. I guess the easiest way to route the exhaust out of the building would be to have a steel flue liner going up the chimbey breast, continuing on up to the roof and out through the roof tiles. Is there some kind of kit that will make the construction of the roof outlet easy?
I once installed a combi boiler in a loft and it had a very convenient kit for anabling the flue to gou out through the roof. The outlet had a built- in flashing skirt, that was big enough to tuck under the tile above. There was thus very little work was involved.
Is there a similar item designed for enabling a 6" flue to go through a tiled roof? If so, do these have a name?
An alternative option would be to site the woodburner in the kitchen and have the flue going straight out through th wall. Is this OK to do? I've never seen it done before.
Thanks,
Al
