Pocster Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Got my flue in with access hatch all good . Unfortunately the fitted wardrobe will literally end slap bang in the middle of the hatch ? What are the regs on this ? Hatch size I mean ? . Presumably it’s just so a carbon monoxide test could be done in the flue ? Can I wardrobe across the opening ? ( removing the hatch door of course. But access for a monoxide test still do able . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can't you put noggins across and keep the hatch clear? Only a small wardrobe - does it even need the central support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the point of the hatch anyway . It’s a straight run flue so nothing serviceable in it …. Edited August 5, 2021 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Can't you put a small hatch to the right, under where you have had your pocket squirrel out (again)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Mind you - when I asked my BCO about Part J flue regs before starting my chimney (I haven't done one before as all my previous stuff was flats and commercial) he admitted that 'he didn't have a clue' and suggestd that I ask the brickie. If I were you I would just bury it behind the wardrobe and forget about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
