I need to buy a chimney liner to use with my wood burner, the width I have been told is 6" for my type of burner, but I have no idea of length required.

Depends on the house. Most modern houses have somewhere around 8' of headroom, so including the upstairs floor that's about 17', plus the roof space then the actual chimney. I would say that's about 25 to 30 feet, so about 9 or 10 metres should be ample.

an average house flue is approx 10mtr long, the type of liner least expensive is a metal flexi-liner. similar to the gas type thats put in, a leading brand is DOHERTY, this carries a 25yr g/tee IF FITTED & USED RIGHT. get an installer who is HETAS registered for this type of work.(this is the eqivilent to corgi but for solid fuel) first of all have your flue coreball tested. this entails a 6inch ironball on a rope is lowered from the chim/pot down the flue to assertain if a 6inch liner will go down, if not then the flue may require reaming out to get rid of all the carbon build up over the yrs. this is not guesswork i am a solid fuel engineer and do this sort of work. BEWARE THE COWBOYS. ps sweep your flue at 6monthly intervals good luck. hope this is helpfull douglas.

When you find out and have bought the liner, could you please tell us the date you will be fixing it? I like to watch people bounce as they come over the guttering when trying to do a job an expert would do in minutes. (And the experts are covered by insurance... are you?)..................
