25m of liner seems insane to me. I live in a fairly standard but not tiny Edwardian terraced house and I think when I lined my chimney with 316 liner a few weeks back I used 11.5m of the stuff from top to bottom.
I wouldn't bother to buy the expensive liner. It should last 15 years even if you abuse it. Then just spend 250 quid or whatever and buy some more if you get a CCTV inspection done and it's fucked.
As it happens the cost of liner has gone up a lot in the last year (like everything else).I think I paid 155 quid for the liner, nose cone, hanging pot and data plate. That was very nearly almost a year ago.
I installed it myself on a building control notice. Total cost was just under a grand all done. The building control officer wanted a test certificate from a chimney sweep to sign it off which wasn't a problem.
