How about a wood-burning stove?
Comments (17)we're also in scotland and in a new house (well new to us). it's a victorian semi and although it has gas central heating we've wanted a stove for ever so are getting one fitted at the end of october in our living room. my dad and sister both have them and neither of them but wood. just blown over trees and like (with the council's permission). we'll have to buy our first lot of seasoned wood for this winter but after that are hoping to follow in their footsteps. hope to be able save a bit on our gas bills too....See MoreWood burning stove - interior designs

Comments (6)The brickwork for the current TV stand is tied into the chimney, removing it would need some remedial work which will be noticeable. The salvaged bricks from removing the TV stand can be used to replace the side bricks in the chimney and to tie them back in. Once the TV cabinet is removed I doubt there would be neat brickwork behind it. It would really need the alcoves plasterboarding and skimming then which seems a shame. Brickwork can be saved on the chimney if fitting an inset stove into the existing builders opening. If wanting to open it up the only way would be to cut down the bond in the bricks and open it up. There would be a fair bit of work in it to make it look neat and finished. Without seeing it though it is hard to give 100% accurate advice....See MorePlanning permission for wood burning stove?
Comments (2)Here is the planning departments response......... "You would need planning permission for the wood burning stove if it requires a new external flue. If the flue is located internally within an existing chimney stack then you would not require planning permission. If a new external flue is proposed then you can include this within one single application for the doors and flue." So, next question is how do I know if I have a flue or even an existing chimney - seems stupid question to ask. Been in this house for nearly 3 years. There is a 'chimney breast' in the lounge but the previous owners had a plugged in electric fire. The house is from around 1950 - old bungalow. There are no obvious chimneys outside - there are full dormers above. Pic attached of how it currently looks.... guess I just need to pull out the fireplace and look or is it someone special I need to do that? Thanks!...See MoreLaura
