  • Page 7: Chimney Catchment Space

    Brick / stone built chimneys and any chimney or flue which has been used for an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The base of the chimney/flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc. Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off. Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.
  • Page 8 The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm wide, and between 525mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure plate can be sealed to the fireplace.
