Can you put a woodburner flue through a polycarbonate roof on a conservatory? One of the most frequent questions we are asked by people who are interested in installing a wood-burning stove in a conservatory is: can you have a woodburner flue running through a polycarbonate roof? Conservatories are very popular places to install stoves. Given that they are living rooms in which people want to spend time relaxing, yet can become cool in autumn, winter and spring given the amount of glass, it is very appealing to add a boost of warmth that makes it a comfortable environment all year round. Understandably, a major concern before going ahead with an installation is the safety concerns about putting a flue pipe through the plastic roofs – usually polycarbonate – that tend to be used on conservatories. The good news is that it is safe to pass a flue pipe through a conservatory roof as long as you follow these steps… Use a twin wall flue Sometimes called an insulated flue, a twin wall flue is a flue pipe surrounded by a layer of insulation, surrounded by another pipe. It will not got as hot as a single wall flue and is therefore safe for use with the polycarbonate roof. Use rubber flashing You probably won’t be able to screw or fix a lot of flashing options to the polycarbonate roof. If this is the case for your conservatory, simply use rubber flashing sealed onto the roof with silicone to keep rainwater out. If this looks unsightly from inside the conservatory, you can place a cover plate at the top of the flue before it exits the conservatory. Consider the Building Regulations The place at which you choose to put a flue through your polycarbonate roof might be influenced by the Building Regulations. For example, Document J of the regulations states that a flue must terminate at least 2.3 metres away from any window horizontally. Make sure you’ve studied the regulations and given due consideration to the position of your appliance within the conservatory before starting to make a hole in the conservatory roof.

If you’re wondering, ‘Do I need a carbon monoxide detector for a woodburner?’,the short answer is yes. That’s because carbon monoxide is such a deadly gas, your household’s lives so valuable and a carbon monoxide detector so relatively inexpensive that it would be foolish not to get one. That was the common sense answer to the question. Now onto the legal interpretation. If your wood-burning stove was installed after October 2010 then you must have a carbon monoxide detector installed, too. It is a legal requirement. In October 2010, Document J of the Building Regulations, which covers the installation of wood-burning stoves and multi-fuel stoves, was updated and made carbon monoxide alarms compulsory with all new installations. If your stove was installed before October 2010, you are under no legal obligation to have a carbon monoxide detector with your woodburner. But for the reasons we have already touched upon, it makes sense to get one. The alarm must be located in the same room as the appliance. It must be either on the ceiling and at least 300mm from any wall or on a wall, as high as possible and certainly above any doors or windows, but not within 150mm of the ceiling. Whether on the ceiling or the wall, the horizontal distance between the carbon monoxide alarm and the woodburner should be between 1m and 3m. For anyone who isn’t aware of the grave dangers posed by carbon monoxide, it is a silent, odourless and potentially fatal gas. Any heating appliance that involves burning fuel poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in the event that a leak occurs. Carbon monoxide detectors are relatively inexpensive and start from as little as £10-£15. Put that into the context of the cost of a meal out, let alone the cost of losing those you dine out with, and it really isn’t much to spend on a potential life-saver and the peace of mind it brings.
