Neighbours having chimney taken down

Question

Our log burner flue gone through the joint chimney have been told by the person doing the food that I have to have a qualified heta installer to fit a new cowl on to it but the fire has to be inspected to get a certificate and to cover insurance  all for the price of 800 pounds for one cowling is this expensive

John · Answer

no this is reasonable price as you want him to have insurance

Alan · Answer

Yes sound experience  for 1 cowling to be fitted you can send me ur address  and il have a look at it

Lewis · Answer

This is excessively expensive indeed. Unless you have serious access restrictions or the Cowl is oversized this price is high.

Daniel · Answer

Yes very expensive your looking at £500 maximum for a job like this

Patrick · Answer

It might seem a little bit expensive , but you should always get a couple of quotes

David · Answer

Yes very as all they will do is smoke bomb the flue to make sure the flue liner is  installed correctly and that it's not crossing over into the neighbours flue and tha the debris plate is installed correctly and as for fitting the cowl should take no longer than a hour maximum

Wesley · Answer

Bring your insurance company ask them the best options

Aaron · Answer

Hi there
This is the first I've heard of this, as a roofer I have installed alot of cowls to the top of a chimney.
If this is a shared chimney and they neighbours is being taken down that's got nothing to do with yours, installation of a cowling costs around £200
