I have recently had a woodburner installed. I got my stove directly from The Forest Bailiff in Wimbledon but only because I had my heart set on a particular make and they are the official London supplier. Independently I had my fireplace checked and cleaned by Pearce and son and installed- which also meant having chimney lined and pot put on chimney- by Dennis. Casa in Bellenden Road also supply s good selection of stoves and arrange for fittings (through Dennis the fitter) Sorry cant find numbers right now but they are on the main stove thread on ed forum.


There are lots of recommendations on here for different suppliers and fitters if you look up 'wood burning stove'. When it comes to it, everyone raves about the particular one they chose so I don't think you can go wrong!

whoever fits your stove is going to cost around ?1100 so the stove is on top of that and they range from ?500-?1000, remembering you MUST get a DEFRA approved one to burn in London.


The website http://www.whatstove.co.uk/ is excellent for checking real user reviews of stoves against ones you 've seen or taken a fancy to. The main cost is installation so no point in saving yourself a couple of hundred quid if it means you end up with an inefficient stove. For instance a London favourite seems to be the MORSO Squirrel defra approved one, though the firebox is a bit small and reviews for that are excellent on the site to give you something to compare everything with.


Anything over 5kw will require additional ventilation in the room you install it in. But chimney man can assess all that.

Funnily enough I've just posted a recommendation:


http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1032898


This was for servicing not installation although I'd certainly consider getting a quote as he seemed capable and reliable. Edit: if you do give him a call, let him know you found him via the East Dulwich Forum, as I was extolling its virtues to him :)


If you are after a wood burner I'm also aware of http://sustainablefires.co.uk/ who are also local.

      Has anyone had any joy contacting Helen Hayes out MP?

      By ianr · Posted

      The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.

      She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck

      The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers

      Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!

      Calling all you London Reds (Manchester United)

      By malumbu · Posted

      It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
