    L/L cert for replacement fire

    Easy chaps, I had cause to condemn an inset fire the other week in a rental. I'm due to replace it with a new one. Do I need to complete another separate L/L cert for the new fire, or is the fact that it's new & commissioned in accordance with MIs enough to cover the job?

    Got a custard who wants to have the top section of his flue replaced with some nice modern tinny-looking stuff. The top of the precast flue section is asbestos & appears to be pre-formed. Does anyone know if there's a pre-formed metal replacement available, or would I have to get one made up?

    Siting air vent for IDFE

    I need to fit a 100cm2 air vent for an IDFE fire. The custard asked if it can go on a wall that back onto a ginnel that's open at one end. Seeing as it's technically open to outside air, would that be acceptable?
