removed. The chimney must be at least 3.10m (10ft) in
height and also meet the following requirements:
1) It must not be cracked.
2) It must serve one room only.
3) It must not be joined with any void, space or any
room other than that in which the fire is fitted.
4) It must not be blocked by paper or rubble etc.
5) It must have a positive flue pull up the chimney.
6) It must have a standard 229mm x 229mm (9in x
9in) section or a 127mm(5in) flue liner.
