Have you got enough room for airflow down the sides of the stove? Doesn't look like a lot?
We have never had a wood burner before. The installer did note it was a bit tight but once on we do get alot of heat from it. I have thought about a stove fan to circulate the air a bit more but during the winter after a couple of hours, it was heating most the the downstairsGreat thread OP and very similar to what we are doing, although we are doing it in two phases. It's a 60's bungalow that was never touched until we bought it.
Phase 1 renovation is done - extension, re-wire, UFH, new bathroom/kitchen etc etc
Phase 2 is in the planning stages - we have 2 bedrooms on the ground floor and would like to re-roof and put a minimum of 2 bed/1 bath upstairs. The ideal option would be to go straight up with a new roof rather than a loft conversion/dorma arrangement. When you got your structural engineer involved was there any underpinning or foundation re-enforcement necessary?
I know the obvious answer would be to get a structural engineer and builder round to confirm but wondered if there was a general rule of thumb that applied?
Appreciate any information you can provide? Thanks in advance.
