It is hard to tell what part of the flue this is. It looks like a
pre-cast
one but not sure why you are able to take a pic 'down' the flue from
inside
the attic. Does it have a soot box in there?

The most common cause for lack of draw is the wrong type of flue terminal
on
top of the pot. What does yours look like?

Also, can you give me an idea of age of property?

Thanks

Many thanks for all the posts and suggestions so far. I've been back in the
loft and taken some more pics that can be found he

Pic 1 = This is the Flue 'hole' in the loft with the metal tubing that was
used with the flue extension kit.

Pic 2 = Now this is with metal tubing removed with a heavy blob of what
seems to be cement/putty on the end (this incidentally was loose and I have
not used ANY force at all to remove the tubing for the photo).

Pic 3 = This shows the flue in relation to the pitched roof.

Pic 4 = This is the fire we have had chosen and had installed.



Now I'm wondering from the posts whether the loose tubing in Pic 2 could be
posing a problem as this is not secured fully (flush/air-tight) to the hole
in the loft. Should this be in any way loose or am I correct in thinking it
should be flush/fully sealed to the exit hole?



Again your thoughts and comments are appreciated.



PS - The fire that was there previously seemed to work OK, but we have only
recently bought the house and the fire was one of the first things we
changed. The house is 30years old. And the flue did leave through a roof
tile at the utmost point of the roof, but then when the flue extension was
tried it was taken out around 1/2 way up the roof where a tile was cut etc.
