Stove and liner, Kendal
"They measured the room and talked me out of the 8 kW stove I wanted. The 5 kW heats the whole cottage, and we can still sit in the same room as it."

Size your stove
Too big is the most common mistake
An oversized stove gets turned down, smoulders and tars the flue. Give us the room and we will tell you the size, and whether it needs an air vent.
5.1 kW of heat for 51.2 m³
- We would fit a 6 kW stove.
- It needs a permanent air vent of about 550 mm².
- From £3,630 fitted, with a new flue liner and a CO alarm.
Ready to burn. Dry wood lights fast, burns hot and keeps the glass clear.
Is your wood ready?
Twenty percent, or it stays in the store
Split a log and push a moisture meter into the fresh face. Wet wood hisses, smokes and coats your flue with tar, which is how most chimney fires start.
Since 2021, logs sold in small bags in England must be 20% moisture or less. Ours are kiln dried to about 15%.

Chimney sweep, Staveley
"Booked in September, done in an hour with dust sheets everywhere, and a certificate for the insurers before he left."
Ann MetcalfeStaveley
Multi fuel stove, Windermere
"Fitted in a day, liner included. The CO alarm, the hearth and the building control paperwork were all sorted without me asking."
Oliver BlytheWindermere
No. Without a chimney we fit an insulated twin wall flue through the wall or the roof, fully certified.
Usually. Most older chimneys need a stainless steel liner to draw well and stay sealed. We check with a camera first.
Only on a Defra exempt stove, with the right fuel. We check your address and fit an exempt model if you need one.
At least once a year for wood, ideally before the first fire of autumn. You get a certificate for your insurer.
We do. As HETAS registered installers we sign the work off for you, and leave a certificate and a CO alarm.

We come and look at the room
