Moving a fireplace

    can anyone help

    i bought an old house recently and in the sitting room, the fire is in the right hand corner. i want to move the fireplace to the left and centre it in the middle of the room, without moving the chimney. is it possible to bring a pipe up and back at an angle, maybe 45 / 70 degrees and cut into the flue in the right hand corner.

    or 30 degree max from vertical:)

    have a read of part J of the TGDs on dept of environment website [ dont have full web access to go get it at the mo.]

    depending on the distance u may not have the room to enter the chimney below ceiling level: there are possible performance risks if the off vertical run is too long: what distance have u in mind

    I would consider leaving it in the corner as IMO in centre of wall sort of screws up the room for big LCD c/w serious surround sound systems:)

    I presume u mean a flue from a stove as opposed to a new fireplace

    see part J, else buy/browse homebond manual in any good bookshop

    a full fireplace with ceramic flue etc will require a solid structure to support it fully
