The brief
The hearth was not the correct size, the closure plate was made from plywood and plasterboard, and it had been framed with timber. The timber frame had already caught fire.
The flue pipe was also not sealed correctly, making the installation unsafe and unsuitable to leave in place.
How the project came together
Fires In Stone replaced the closure plate with a galvanised steel plate supported by a steel frame, installed a Schiedel Technoflex flue liner and replaced the non-compliant hearth with a new stone one.
The stove was also replaced, leaving the customer with a much safer and properly built installation.
