I have recently purchased a wood burning standalone fieplace with a
stainless steel flue. Because my house is double storeyed it needs to be
fitted though a cement slab. How easy will this be and what tools are
required to make a hole in the slab?

This requires a building permit and (hereabouts, at least) much free
engineering advice is available from the permit staff.
