The other fireplace did not lend itself so well to a wooden cover and I spent forever with my head up the flue trying to measure where I could fit a Chimney Balloon which I’d seen on the Good Energy Shop web site. Having been sent back up the flue by Chimney Balloon to get a better measurement I spotted a metal flange which turned out to belong to one of two cast-iron plates built into the fireplace designed to slide across the flue just above the top of the grate – presumably designed by their Victorian manufacturer to block off draughts. Well they did know a thing.
