install wood burning stove

I watched a programme about this recently.


Just be careful. A Wood Burning Stove in any smokeless zone will need to be DEFRA approved.


Some installers will be happy to install one that isn't and you will not be allowed to use it.


You could be fined at it will be expensive to replace it.

CASA in Bellenden Road can arrange this for you or do the the whole project.

we used the guy they use for installation but I cant find his number- it will be on an old thread related to this subject and would be under my recommendation.

edited to say I have found it

Installer was Dennis 07903425482.

We just had our fireplace done up and a wood burner installed. The installation and all the work was done by Dennis Mart and his team and Matt at CASA (Bellenden Road) supplied the stove and helped facilitate the process.


They didn't ask me to write this review but I feel I want to share my experience since it was really positive!


The whole process was super smooth. I got several quotes and in the end decided to go with the people who I felt most understood what I was after. (Turns out it was one of the cheaper quotes too!) Matt at CASA is an expert when it comes to old victorian stuff and he works with restoration of old victorian radiators etc. So I felt they understood how to create something both functional and beautiful. The whole team came across as both knowledgeable and professional and they arrived on time and worked very quickly. I am super stoked about our new beautiful wood burner, it looks gorgeous!


So I whole heartedly recommend both Dennis (and team) as an installer and Matt as a facilitator and advisor. It is also great because they can handle the ordering of the stove etc for you which greatly simplifies the logistics of things.


If you are thinking of using CASA, check out Matt's instagram feed - it's sort of a portfolio and he regularly posts pictures of jobs here. That really helped me understand what I wanted and what result to expect: http://instagram.com/fireplaces_stoves_radiators/

We also used Dennis and his team to line our chimney and install a stove. We bought a stove based on the advice Dennis gave to us and are so pleased with it. Dennis and his guys did a great job, working around a problem we encountered with my chimney and and they were really nice to deal with.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
