Repositioning stove?

How hard would it be to 'swing' this stove so it’s on the right of the flue exit?

If it needs dismantling is the flue attached to the roof?

thanks

Speak to a local installer, maybe send them the picture.

Was hoping to do it myself?

For the sake of a few hundred quid I'd prefer to have someone who can legally sign off the works do it.

 

If the place burns down the original installer will go not my work and your insurance will null you're claim.

 

That's also the same for any chimney sweep, if that's not certified same applies to you're insurance.

If the stoves been installed properly the flue should be fully supported by a hanger in the roof timbers as the stove shouldn't be bearing any weight.It would be straightforward to swing the flue 180° but you would need to check that in doing so, the straight between the offset angles didn't fall foul  of the 3x diameter rule from the ceiling

I was thinking the same about the various combustibles in the room...

I thought that ‘stove installers’ were one of the professions that price in multiples of thousands.

Only if your wanting that posh looking fireplace installing in your expensive house extension.
