French Frank Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Can any of you lovely people advise if I need to seek the mayors permission to take the flue from a woodburner up through the roof.Also, can someone advise if it is better to get an independant installation as compared to an installation from, say Weldoms?Can anyone advise of a good place to buy a woodburner in the Confelons-Poitiers-Limoges area.Many thanks,"The almost- there twins" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonrouge Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Permission wise perhaps by way of courtesy just a visit to M le Maire would be called for. I am not sure but believe that one does not have to have approval. I probably am wrong but no doubt the wise sages on this forum will quickly address the error.However as to installation we have experience on both fronts whilst in Normandie. The first a Weldom type which did not go exactly to plan and some two years later we went to a specialist I think it was a franchise type organisation well-known in France is it Renee Briasche or something like that but yellow pages and under cheminee will be the way forward.Also of course and if you pay tax here in France you obtain a credit from the Impot guys. Weldom are basically diy shops? and their installations may or may not be done in-house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Further to Dragon's post, if you are a French resident and you want to claim the tax credit for the poêle, the receipt for the apparatus and the labour has to come from the one supplier/installer. Don't know why but I understand that that is the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Brisach - we got our two from the local franchise, and have been happy with them, though one was installed better than the other (as usual it depends on the workmen you get on the day). Could do worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son who works with his father speaks excellent English too, if that is a concern. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tia Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 HiCan anyone tell me what the rules and regulations are for fitting/installing a wood burner in France. Can we install ones ourselves and do you have to have a flue liner to the top of the chimney Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich1972 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 As far as I know the flue has to be fitted by a qualified person. It's very important as failure to do so can invalidate your house insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgit72 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 We decided to buy from these people in the UK:http://www.woodburningstoveslimited.com/and get it shipped over. Works out at about half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
