The Oval Room Chimney and Flooring

The Oval Room Chimneybreast was fireproofed with insulation materials and plasterboarded but the flexible flue liner had to be pushed up the chimney. The proprietor was alone to instal the flue liner. He was at the top of the stack pulling the flexible flue to the top of the chimney and luckily a friend was present to help push.


Then it was sealed with fireproof bricks leaving a hole in the insulation material for the rigid flue.
Covered with fireproof plasterboard
Cut a hole for the rigid flue - requires mathematics!
Beauty after the slog!
An old original door against the new one.

Wonderful!

Although three times the anticipated price the flooring is beautiful
The Oval Moulding that attracted me
Travertin tiles in the doorway so that the oak flooring does not get wet or damp if the door is left open when it rains.
Detail of the ceiling which took forever to correct the previous damage.

The rest is history!
