    Hi, we've just removed a solid fuel stove from the kitchen, that was connected into a chimney flue (no fireplace, it was built for the stove). We bought the house withthis stove already in place and have just taken it out in order to make space for more kitchen units.

    Is it OK to just cover over the hole in the wall with the new units (the splashback tiling should cover the hole) or is there something more substantial that needs to be done. BTW, the flue is bone dry when I put my hand into even on a wet day.

    Thx

    if you are going to close it at the bottom, seal it at the top too.
