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 :)

  It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it. You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.

  DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go. Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
