Hi there, I'd like to install a multifuel stove in a reception rm of our early victorian house & need advice on how to proceed. The 'WHICH LOG BURNING STOVE' blog was interesting & I'd already decided on the Morse 'squirrel'. There's a gas fireplace in the recess at the moment. Should my first move be to get a builder in to remove the gas fire, sort out the chimney lining & surround etc? I understand we need to get council approval also - is this before work or after installation? I'd appreciate any guidance you have as I don't know where to start :? !
