What does it cost for a stainless steel liner?
With sealed gas stoves, 225mm of hearth is required in front of the appliance unless Based on a typical overall chimney height of 24 feet, the materials cost is likely to be approximately £600 to £800 including VAT, depending on the grade of the stainless steel liner used (a liner suitable for burning both wood and solid fuels is more expensive than a liner for burning wood alone). When lining a large chimney such as an inglenook, there is also an additional £200 or so for high temperature Rockwool insulation compared to the Leca infill used to insulate smaller flues. The cost for installation labour for a liner and insulation is usually about £480 in the New Forest area, but would probably be more if any building work is also involved such as opening up an original fireplace recess, installing a lintel or beam, laying or extending a hearth, building a new surround, etc.
