Hi Docs
In the flat above mine the chimney breast has been removed at some point in history and the one below it in my flat is blocked up.
Ignoring the obvious practical difficulty here for a moment, I'm determined to have a working fireplace in my flat damit!
I'm hoping that I open mine up and then install some kind of hood inside so that I can run a flue pipe out horizontally.
A) Will this work? or will I set the whole building on fire?
B) If its at least feasible, does it have to be fan driven in some way?
C) Is there some way to force the current owners upstairs to re-enstate their chimney given that it was clearly removed illegally?
D) Any other bright ideas?
Thanks
Jos
