Notice plates

Notice plates are a building regs requirement. Many customers contact us wanting to make changes to their flue systems or install new stoves. A lot of time is saved when identifiying the type and size of flue if the notice plate has been displayed as it should be.

A notice plate must be completed and permanently posted in the building when hearths or flues have been installed. This then applies to stove installation, chimney lining, hearth installation, twin wall flue pipe installation, pumice liner installation, concrete liner installation, and in many other instances.
The notice plate shows the position of the hearth and/or flue and gives essential information about the materials used such as the manufacturer and flue diameter.

The notice plate should be displayed either:

by the electricity consumer meter,
by the water stop-cock,
by the hearth or flue that it describes.

We can supply a Chimney Notice Plate, installation checklist and guide for £7.50 inc VAT.

The installation Checklist

The checklist is based on Doc. J appendix A and helps to ensure that the installation are satisfactory. Copies should be offerred by the installer to the customer and the Building Control Body. If subcontracting then a copy should be given to the main contractor.
