well when you say install the liner...my roofer (keith 07939312173) was on the roof feeding it down the chimney and me and @princeperch were pulling it down. keith then fitted the cowl on the chimney pot whilst he was up there. princeperch and i fitted the liner to the stove and did the rest.
i'd highly recommend keith. everyone else i tried was giving me a hard time saying it had to be done with scaffolding and i was getting crazy prices for that.
keith had no issue with running it up on ladders and was a really decent bloke who didn't complain or give me any grief whatsoever. more than happy to help out and hung around for a chat afterwards a well. he charged £80 for the hour or so it took. well worth the money

so me and @princeperch of this parish installed a wood burner in my place last weekend.
i had the option of getting up onto the roof and putting the liner in but for the marginal difference in cost between paying a bloke and hiring the ladders it was an easy decision to go with a roofer and send him up there. he was shoving the liner down whilst we were pulling and sending signals back to the guy on the roof. we had a few nervous moments when the liner got stuck but it was a relief getting it all the way down. the living room looked like a bomb hit it afterwards.
anyway learnt a lot and had a lot of fun in the process. just need to get building control in to sign it off. nevertheless it was well worth the effort and i'm enjoying the wood burner. any questions / advice @princeperch is the man.
