Cost of installing a gas fire

[glenbarr]

First of all thank you to everyone who answered my previous question re: a manhole in a bedroom.
Would anyone have any idea what it would cost to have a gas fire installed. The gas point thingy is there beside the fireplace, but I am told I would have to have a flue lining or somesuch thing. If it costs too much I shall go for an electric fire.

Hi glenbar,
First af all if your chinmey is sound then it wont need to be lined, I have only had to install a flue liner in maybe a handfull of installations in twenty odd years.
You may need to get it swept first, that costs about �45.
The installation price will depend upon what type of fire your are buying & if you have a standard builders opening or not. My charges for a fire installation start from around �85 upto aprox �150. Depending on how much preperation work and the type of fire involved. Hope this helps you out . Gasman.

Sorry, haven't got an answer, but just pleased to see someone talks the same language as me. "the gas point thingy" - my sort of description.
