Is it worth £800 to line a chimney to use a wood-burning stove?

[MrsJamin]

We bought a house a few months ago with a lovely wood burning stove and I thought it was ready to use, however we have realised the chimney is not lined. We have a quote for £800 to do the work but it seems like such a lot of money- is it actually worth it? It's just over a month of my salary (work part time on a pittance). :(

LEM, we decided against DIY simply because the cost of materials was so high, we couldn't afford the risk that we'd screw it up. And we would've! We got both chimneys done at once, and two wood stoves. Yep, it cost a fortune, but was worth every penny. A night in in front of the fire is better than going out .

Hi, i want to get my chimney lined, if there is anyone out there who can do it for £800 or under with hetas certificate, please let me know their details, I'm in east london.
