Lovenhelm stoves

Ok thanks again

 

It's a 6" flue so perhaps that adaptor will work.

 

We used allegedly one of Edinburgh's top stove installers, slick website, all the trade body logos etc so would hope to ok for advice on regs... Unfortunately I think he's just a cowboy but with a shiny van - he quoted a fortune so I told good lady to tell him to stick it. She wanted to use them though so that job "would be done right", unfortunately they left a mess on roof and needed chased up to tidy it so didn't block down pipes, left holes in kitchen wall, lights hanging down above cooker as they'd knocked hole there too.

 

Then to cap it all when advised that we'd lit stove for first time and it was drawing way too hard we were told that was due to it being a windy night (it wasn't)! Now here we are 3 months later and he's suggesting a valve or choking the top of chimney, job has been anything but done right

 

Edit: And I forgot the "made to measure" plate for blocking chimney which was one of reason he justified high quote, it was a bit of tin roughly cut to shape and then secured with big screws which stuck out at all angles. After my partner complained he's smeared silicon over them! Truly a bodge job and I wish I'd put my foot down at beginning and told him to sling his hook!

Surely a bog standard flue damper would do the job?

 

Something like:

 

150mmø Stovax Cast Iron Flue Damper | eBay

 

 

Hunter Stoves 6" Cast Iron Flue Damper | eBay

 

 

?

I don't know in the OP's case but the pellet stoves had induced draught fans so choking the outlet would cause problems.
