Sunny but cool yesterday afternoon, so we took the car out for an explore for new roads for next year's navigation run. Came across a field that the farmer hadn't closed the gate to, for a couple of sneaky pics.

I don't know about Italy, but Germany are extremely conformist, it's part of how Adolf Hitler came to power and why WW2 happened. In Germany if your expected to do something then you do it, and the majority of German people are extremely intolerant of people who fail to conform, a prime example of this is their attitude to motorbikes and MCs.

its a good place to dry your logs 😆

Heading off now - getting fuel en route so should be there around 6.30-7.00 depending on traffic

Yes he is correctly interpreting the requirements. I assume they are a HETAS registered company and as such they would not be able to repair the stove and certify the new flue if the rest of the installation is no compliant or safe. There's no specific Section of Part-J to the Building Regulations that specifies a minimum separation distance to a timber beam over a fire place, but typically you would need 300mm as a minimum or a dimension as specified in the stove installation manual. I can't identify the stove in question but many similar 8-12KW stoves would require 450-600mm to a timber mantle beam. You would also need to consider the distance between the beam and the flue pipe which should not be less than 200mm. it may be possible to fit a mantle deflector plate to protect the beam depending on the stove output but this will be visible below the beam, as would the alternative option of cladding the bottom and rear face with a calcium silicate board or similar such as Superlux. This is the best website I have been able to find after a quick search that gives a bit more detail. https://www.stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk/pages/rules-for-wood-burning-stoves

Here’s ours with wood beam. It’s all about the distance from the fire - I’ll try and dig out the diagram we used but 400mm springs to mind. (Don’t quote me!)

Jaunt up to the north norfolk coast for a day of driving alongside the sea! Fish and Chips at Wells were phenomenal

In the Peak District with all these weird things around, I think they are called 'empty car parking spaces' ☹️
