What is the law about havig open fires upstairs in a private house?r=1225582039?
Depends on the local building and fire codes. Contact the local fire department, they’ll know what is required. Open fires will of course not be allowed, but with the proper flues and venting, it might be possible to install a stove. The home insurance would almost certainly rise, but the way. Incidentally, if this house is rented, the landlord will almost certainly disallow it, as is his right.
