Hi

I've just had an slimline blanced flue inset gas fire installed
(Stdio 2 from
https://www.stovax.com/stove-fire/st...ine-gas-fires/
)

It required a new hole around 90cm * 45cm to be fitted into (no
chimney involved) - the work was surveyed by the fire company and
performed by a Gas Safe registered installer and the fire works just
fine.

Assuming the 90cm is the width, then that is wider than a standard door,
and that would usually have a lintel.

So - should a lintel have been inserted as part of the job?

Seems pretty likely.

(45cm on a block wall would be less of an issue)
