As with all building works there will be some dust and debris. Our team prides itself with leaving your property clean and tidy. We lay floor coverings in the rooms we are working in and take steps to protect delicate furnishings. We take all our rubbish away with us and always leave the site tidy.

This varies according to the age of the property, how well insulated the property is and your personal preference regarding temperature. As a general rule of thumb to discover what size wood burning stove you need, measure your room and divide by 14 (so length x width x height in metres, divided by 14). Divide by 10 if your room is particularly poorly insulated. Divide by 25 if your room is new-build super-insulated.

Each property is unique, please speak to us about the range of options available for your project.

We would always recommend lining your chimney. A lining system provides a totally sealed passage for all harmful gases released as a product of combustion i.e. harmful carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a very real threat with any burning appliance, so it is important to treat it with respect. A lining system represents the safest way to install any wood/multi fuel appliance as it provides a safe sealed passage out of the chimney.
