Fitting a wood burner

Recommended Posts

Hi all


Anyone got a recommendation for someone who could help us fit a wood burning stove? We need their help with everything from checking and prepping the currently unused chimney, to fitting and making the stove work safely. We also have no idea how much this process should cost so if anyone has done a similar thing and could give us an idea what they paid, that would be much appreciated.


Thanks, and happy new year!

Hi,


We could certainly help you with checking and prepping the chimney as well as connecting you to a qualified installer. The first thing that's needed is for the chimney to be swept, this will make sure that the chimney is clear for the flue liner to be installed and will identify if there are any problems with your chimney that need to be resolved prior to installation.


We charge ?55 for doing the sweep and this include any guidance and advice.


Feel free to call, even if its just for some advice.

Ours cost ?2.500 including a clearview Pioneer stove,(?1100) bought from the Forest Bailiff in SW London-- chimney lining, and installation. We provided our own enamel hearth and our installer laid some concrete down beforehand to create a smooth bedding. Installer was Dennis 07903425482.


Our builder had already exposed the big fireplace space during previous renovations.

We had our chimney checked and swept by Pearse and Sons for viability in the first instance.http://pearceandsonchimneysweeps.co.uk/


If we had been getting a different stove we would almost certainly have used Matt at Casa as he does a start to finish service. 07912861736 but as we were getting a Clearview which cannot be purchased any cheaper wholesale, there was no point.


we have had our stove a year and absolutely love it!!!

    • Without doubt, he is getting a bad rap from the media and no doubt he is a sincere well-intentioned person but he is so expressionless. If only his face could break out into a smile occasionally then that would help. The deadpan, dummy look does not inspire.  I look forward to the day when he might venture out and  make the odd humorous quip with a smile. Tony Blair could do that rather well.  If I ever needed a defence lawyer and I had to choose between them both, I know which one I would choose. Anythings possible with the right determination and a good coach.
    • Can anybody recommend a local clock repairer. Not for a watch.
    • No denying that Labour's first year or so has disappointed those of us who wanted major change.  But this demonising of the man is just ridiculous.  There have been some good things, but drowned out by this insentient right wing driven media hatred.  The same right wing media that loves Johnson and FaaReg (I think I've at last hit on getting the pronounciation right). A good example today - John Crace reports: That done [reference to Trump] , Starmer could move on. Britain had offered its full support to the peace process. Had worked tirelessly behind the scenes, with no need of recognition. Because it was our job. Recognising a Palestinian state had allowed other Arab nations to condemn Hamas. And we knew a thing or two about decommissioning weapons from the Good Friday agreement. But it was going to be a long haul. (maybe a rosy look, but nice to see something positive) A positive view on our position in the world and a player on the peace deal (albeit too late for many in Gaza) Here's GB news: Suella Braverman says she is 'ashamed to be British' after Keir Starmer’s 'humiliation on world stage' HTF can Braverman lecture anyone? Mail: Will Keir Starmer EVER recover from his viral humiliation by Trump in front of world? PM's efforts to bask in Gaza peace deal spectacularly backfire And slightly earlier in the Times: Starmer ‘duped voters’ and five more claims in explosive new book.  In this case the left sharpening their knives - perhaps they could go back to Corbyn's time as Labour leader.
    • This is one of the most stupid arguments used by all the far-right war criminal supporters to justify the unjustifiable. I can only advise you to study what defines a genocide, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two. Perhaps, you should also read about the great (Jewish) scholars Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg who both (among others prominent intellectuals) concluded that Israel was committing a genocide. At least, they can’t be accused of antisemitism, I suppose.
