The house we moved into last year has a garden room with a flat asphalt roof. It's a lovely place to be for 8 months of the year - much better temp regulation than a conservatory - but is still too cold to use in the winter.
Mrs CD fancies the idea of a wood burner to make it habitable in these months - are there any special considerations in a) putting the flue through a flat roof, or b) the flue height - does in need to be above the eaves of the adjacent second story or just x amount above the flat roof?

There are various rules on this. And, depending on proximity to the house, I think it will need to clear the main house roof ridge line.

Give them a ring and they be able to tell you exactly what you need. They were very helpful.
You will just need some single wall and some twin wall where it goes through the roof.
Thanks. It is over 2.3m from the wall of the main house so that's OK, It is closer to the garage though so I guess it would need to be above that.
Also think about the prevailing wind - you don't want to be blowing smoke against the side of your (or anyone else's) house.
