Agent Orange Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Which new builds are these, out of interest? None of the houses on our road have chimneys, not that I am saying that applies to all new houses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 some new houses on norton lane being built at the moment and yes they have chimneys Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Decoration purposes, depending on the style they are built, I guess. I love real fires, it is number one on the criterium list for when we choose a cottage to go on holiday I love a good fire. My next house, when I finally decide to sell up, will have a chimney so I can install a wood burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixie824 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Santa has a magic key for those houses without chimneys. Presumably the chimney is the easiest/nicest looking way of concealing a flue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
