Woodburner installation with terminated chimney?

[Whatdoiknow31]

So excited, were booked to have a woodburner installed next week.

However previous owners took chimney down so it terminates in loft (no problem, just having liner and solid flue)

However I am stressing, I am so looking forward to sitting by the fire I am imagining every possible thing to go wrong.

Like the other day I noticed that the vent at the bottom on the chimney in the inglenook was shut (could have been like that for 10yrs) so now I am thinking the chimney is going to fall apart when it's swept from deteriorating with condensation! (Did I say my mind is going mad?)

Has anyone had similar work done? Can you put my mind at rest?

It's being swept next week before the installation and I know I'm going to be on tenterhooks until then :-(

And 'she's' in!

Now to finish decorating the room and then we can start enjoying.

Installation wasn't too bad (I don't think) worst part was opening up the capped off chimney which had been taken down below roof ridge level and installing solid flue to extend it above ridge level. Chimney draws like a dream.

So all my worries were for nothing 😂

It looks lovely, you must be chuffed to bits!

I am over the moon. It's made a large room feel all homely, even when it's not it.

Really excited about wrapping presents in front of it and getting the tree up this year - I normally hate wrapping presents!
