I'm just wondering if anyone can share their experience/knowledge of installing gas/electric fires in their homes please?

I'm in a flat, where the fireplaces are gone and am wanting to put in one, more likely a wall mounted fire in the existing chimney breast. An electric one would be an easy enough one to do I imagine, but what about a gas one? Would floorboards need to be lifted, if not, would a pipe of sorts be left exposed in the room? Would a flueless fire be okay, or more advisable to get one which needs a flue, but I don't know the work which would be involved in that.

Cost will be a factor too in terms of installation - but rather it done right and also get the right brand/model put in to provide good heat/effect.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to understand what would need to be done and what would be more suited to this flat. :) Thanks for any help :)

  Ha ha ha! Nigel Farage voted for that Green party. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16936634 They're all rats in the same sack.

  Hello, a bit of a long shot but I'm looking to buy a Garmin vivoactive 4s (the smaller size watch face) if anyone has one and is looking to upgrade / pass one on. I've got my eye on eBay but thought I'd try locally just in case there's one no longer in use in a drawer somewhere! Many thanks, Chara

  @first mate just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise. For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect. I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's. Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern. Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be. Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote. It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages. Or something along those lines. I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
