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 :)

  https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded!

  I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.

  I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
