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!!!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
