    Hi, wondering what regs are for the flue of a log burner placed in a single storey extension at the rear most part of the extension, 4 metres back from the main house?
    Thanks

    No, anyone can install any type of solid fuel appliance but you would need to apply to B Control if not using an installer covered by a self cert scheme.
    Difficult to give any specific advice on such limited details, take a look at the approved doc

    @Frutbunn i absolutely agree. Also need to comply with permitted development rules for flues. They should at a guess, not be an issue but could be. Mainly if the building has a low roof ( original building that is) and you need minimum 4m on the flue taking you too far about roofline

    I fitted one myself few years ago and informed building control, inspector came out before I'd started to see what I was wanting to achieve, there is copious amounts of information on the tinternet.
    Anything above 5kw requires vents to outside!!
    I kept mine at 5kw, there was already a chimney in the house but I still fitted a liner to ensure no fume leakage. Inspector came out couple of times before completing the job and then signed it off saving myself 2.5k
    Hope this helps a bit.

    What additional details can I provide? Can't really see anything in that document that tells me what I need to know.

    Only really interested in how high above the single storey extension it needs to go? If ita up to height of original roof then it's a mo go from start so won't bother eifh the rest?

    That depends on your proposed log burner but see 2.8 to 2.12 in the regs

    it is possible (rare) to get short flue burners too, I remember one that would work with 2m

    If you're located anywhere remotely built up, i.e. have neighbours, I'd hesitate before installing a log burner now.
    The noise is just beginning, but they're the new diesel and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they're banned within 10 years.

    Thanks. I've had a read, im not really sure what, "at least 2300mm horizontally from the nearest point on the weather surface" means?
