so last Wednesday I just had a fire surround and hearth installed and the chimney in my 1930s house put back into service. It would originally have been an open fire prior to its becoming disused by the previous tenant who had an electric fire with a "coal effect".
However, despite it being installed and the chimney cleaned by a HETAS approved engineer, we keep getting occasional puffs of smoke coming back into the room.
The weather tonight and yesterday is particularly rubbish, and wind gusts at 50mph plus.
My question is, is that normal when the wind is bad, or should I be phoning the installer first thing Monday to ask what he's done wrong?
Thanks in advance all!
