Installing a flue for a wood-burning stove

For installing a flue (chimney system) for a wood stove, Zoofy works with a rate of €69 per hour (incl. VAT). This is the Zoofy rate for “rookkanaal aanleggen”.

In reality, the total cost varies because it depends heavily on the route (through ceilings/floors), the total flue length, and whether a roof terminal is required. As a practical guideline, many jobs end up somewhere between €500 and €1,000, depending on your situation and any materials/parts needed.

With Zoofy, there are no call-out fees and pricing is transparent, so you have fewer surprises.

On average, installing a smoke/combustion exhaust (rookgasafvoer) takes about 2 to 4 hours, depending on accessibility and the condition of the installation. A wood-stove flue can take longer if the flue needs to run through multiple levels or requires extra penetrations.

An easy, accessible route is usually faster. Longer runs (for example through multiple floors) or tricky roof access typically increase the time needed.

A professional installs the flue safely and neatly so smoke and combustion gases are discharged correctly. The job usually includes:

Preparation:
Assessing the situation, planning the safest route, and checking where penetrations are needed (ceiling/roof).

Flue installation:
Building and mounting the flue system securely, with neat finishing around any penetrations.

Connection & sealing:
Connecting the flue to the stove and sealing everything properly to prevent leaks or backdraft issues.

Check & testing:
Checking draft/operation and ensuring the setup is stable and safe.

Clean-up:
Leaving the workspace tidy.
