Fitting a wood burner

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!!!

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
