What a LogBurnerMatch plan is
A plan is a design guide for fitting a log burner and its flue. It is worked out from the answers you give, the published building regulations guidance and makers' instructions. Each figure in a plan shows where it comes from.
What it is not
- It is not a survey. Nobody from LogBurnerMatch has seen your home.
- It is not a sign-off. The installation must be notified to Building Control, or carried out by a registered installer who can certify it, and signed off before the log burner is used.
- It is not a substitute for the instructions that come with your stove, liner or chimney. Where they ask for more than the plan, follow them.
Your part
- Check your measurements and answers. The plan is only as good as they are.
- Where the plan lists things to confirm, confirm them before you buy or fit anything.
- Have the chimney swept and checked, and tell your home insurer, before the work starts.
- If Building Control, your installer or a maker's instructions say something different from the plan, follow them, and tell us so we can look at it.
When we say a job needs an installer
Some homes and some jobs are outside what the planner covers. When it says so, please do not try to adapt a plan made for a different situation.
Our responsibility
We take care that every figure comes from a published source and is applied correctly. We cannot check your home, your answers or the work itself. Nothing on this page limits any rights you have under consumer law.
Prices and sellers
The planner does not currently show prices or links to sellers. If that changes, any link we may earn from will be clearly marked.
