Hi, i am making our false chimney breast deeper to put a Yeoman cl8 balanced flue gas stove in, i have concerns about the cavity wall insulation, do i need to remove the insulation where the flue pipe goes through the wall? Not sure how hot the flue gets externally ( im assuming its insulated to prevent any fire risk) or whether its any risk of setting the insulation on fire. Im doing the building work myself as the fire company quoted £700 lol.. I will have the fire fitted by a gas safe fitter though. I just want to be sure ive done everything right.
 
I presume that you will be using the correct material to build the chimney breast? How do you know exactly where the flue is going through?

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
