Parts for a twin wall flue start to mount up fairly quickly. Mine was way more then the stove, about 15 years ago.
Geting the top of the flue the correct height above the roof ridge turned out a long way at £100 per metre. Plus a couple of elbows, inspection port, several brackets to support the weight, fire breaks, flashing, cowl, locking bands......

Possibly on the edge of what might be considered DIY, but seriously considering installing a wood burner if the other quotes are anything like this one! No chimney, so would need a twin-wall flue. Quote: 5kw stove - £800 plus VAT, twin wall insulated chimney system in silver - £1700 plus VAT, if in black 20% extra, installation of this and heath and stove, signing off with HETAS certificate - £960 plus VAT.
This look crazy expensive to anyone else? I know that stoves can be had cheaper but £3240 just for chimney and a fairly standard through-the-wall-and-roof installation? In Cambridge - or London-on-Fen as I am now calling it.
