Prepping for new log burner
So i recently moved in to a property and the log burner that was installed was an old DIY job that had no installation certificates and hadn't been swept. Long story short I am treating myself to a new one and redesigning the whole fireplace.
I currently have a double sided stove but I am replacing it with a single sided stove. I want to put a partition wall within the fireplace so on one side I have the fire and the other side I still have the opening as a feature but I am going to fill it with logs. Looking at the building regs I need to have 150mm clearance either side and 300mm at the front. When I spoke to the guys at the showroom, they said I only need a couple of inch clearance at the back, but is this right as the regs say it should be 150mm again. Any help would be appreciated!
