£1500 for all that IME is cheap – it cost £930 to have just my chimney lined and the liner fitted to my stove (by far the cheapest quote I had!) – for a 2 storey circa 1905 house with a relatively straight chimney.
It’s messy, potentially dangerous and legally certifiable work – hence the cost, I suspect.
Worth it though.. 😉
I got a cheapish stove though – despite my fitter’s protestations.
Me to fitter: okay, so it’s a high quality Chinese-made stove, what fundamentally is the difference with this Swedish one that costs twice as much
Him: Essentially, nothing. But it’s just better.
(On reflection and after a year of use, I think I can see his point)
It’s a bit like buying a Boardman over an Ibis. It works okay, but you know it could be so much more… nicerer
