We used this fire and had British Gas issued safety certificate up to mid
2017. Then we needed a new gas boiler in January 2018. After the boiler was
fitted the gas fire didn't work (non-related problem) Recently requested a
company to service the gas fire. I am now told that the chimney is not
suitable to use this fire. It used an open flue (no liner). My question is
this -- has gas safety regulation changed recently?

Watching with interest.

There does seem to be a push to stop people using inefficient gas devices
and maybe the effect in this one is not really that efficient as using gas
to heat things.

AS I often feel that the chimney is caused the room to be cold I am looking
for an excuse to change it for a room sealed / balanced flue gas fire.
