Move Gas Fireplace

Posted by sarah wilde, on
We want to move our fireplace to the right by about 10inches. It is a gas fire on an internal wall (dividing wall between us and next-door). There is a narrow chimney/flue (not sure of the name!) in the breeze-block, going up to the roof. After googling, I'm pretty certain we have a pre cast flu. Is it possible to use the existing chimney/flue from the new fireplace location so that we can have a gas fire or will we have to go electric? Our old gas fire has been removed by a gas safe engineer but he has told us to contact a builder about moving the hole for the new fire. Thanks in advance.
