Client wants this woodstove moved downstairs to where this cleanout is located. How involved would a job like this get?

Does the flue continue down there? If not, forget it. The cleanout is not a flue.

It could be very involved depending on the ash dump size and construction.
Oh definitely. It will most likely involve opening the wall up enough to get into the ash dump to build structure probably remove wooden forms etc. Its not fun or cheap.
