Why Choose a Wood Burning Stove or Log Burner?

Both log burners and wood burning stoves offer excellent heating efficiency, reduced emissions, and a charming focal point for your home. Unlike open fires, these systems retain and distribute more heat while burning less fuel, making them a smart, cost-effective choice for modern households.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced heating costs and lower reliance on central heating
  • Eco-friendliness when using seasoned hardwood logs
  • Enhanced property value with an attractive, permanent feature
  • Cosy, controllable heat ideal for any room size

Whether you prefer the rustic look of a traditional wood burning stove or the sleek style of a contemporary log burner, I’ll help you choose and install the perfect solution.

My Installation Process – Safe, Efficient & Compliant

Every installation begins with a home survey to assess your space, chimney condition, and ventilation requirements. I work closely with you to recommend the best appliance for your needs and ensure it complies with current HETAS and Building Regulations standards.

The process includes:

  • Assessing your space and recommending suitable stove models
  • Inspecting and, if necessary, relining the chimney
  • Installing a safe and compliant hearth
  • Fitting the stove or burner with all flue components
  • Completing a smoke test and final safety checks

You’ll receive expert guidance throughout, from selecting fuel types to best practices for operation and maintenance.

Regular Maintenance for Wood Burning Stoves and Log Burners

Like any heating appliance, log burners and wood burning stoves need routine care to stay safe and efficient. Over time, soot, ash, and creosote can build up inside the chimney or flue, potentially leading to reduced airflow or even fire hazards.

Ongoing maintenance includes:

  • Annual chimney sweeping to remove deposits and blockages
  • Flue inspections to detect wear or corrosion
  • Checking seals, firebricks, and vents for damage
  • Ensuring the appliance remains properly ventilated

I offer reliable maintenance packages to help you get the best from your stove or burner year-round.

Prioritising Safety in Every Installation

Safety is non-negotiable when installing or using a wood burning stove or log burner. Poor installation or lack of maintenance can lead to dangerous issues such as chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks. That’s why I install all systems to a high standard, ensuring proper flue sizing, air supply, and fire safety compliance.

To keep things running smoothly, I recommend:

  • Annual chimney inspections and sweeping
  • Burning only dry, seasoned wood
  • Monitoring CO alarms and following safe usage tips
