Fitting a wood burner

[nic_mcm]

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!

I did mine myself but there seem to be a lot of recommendations for Casa on Bellenden Rd.

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!!!
