If you have no existing fireplace or chimney, it is possible to construct a suitable non-combustible housing and hearth setting. However, this should be constructed to comply with the requirements of both current national and local regulations with the design approved by your local building control officer. Masonry chimney systems built with clay or concrete liners or pre-fabricated block systems should be constructed in accordance with BS 6461 : Part 1. Factory made insulated systems should comply with BS 4543 : Part 2 and be installed to BS 7566 : Parts 1 to 4.

Remember that any new chimney added to your property may also require planning permission.
