We use industrial triple-filter vacuums to minimise dust, conduct smoke evacuation tests, and provide industry-certified certificates. Regular maintenance prevents carbon monoxide risks and chimney fires, ensuring compliance with insurance and warranty requirements.
Stove installation
We offer HETAS-registered stove installations tailored to your property's specifications. Our process includes chimney assessments, custom register plate fabrication, and safety checks. We ensure compliance with UK building regulations and provide guidance on optimal stove usage for efficiency and longevity.

Annual stove servicing maintains safety and efficiency. We inspect rope seals, gaskets, and components, replacing worn parts as needed. Certification is provided to meet warranty and insurance requirements, ensuring your appliance operates at peak performance with minimal environmental impact.
Repairs
We repair damaged stoves, surrounds, and chimney components, restoring functionality and aesthetics. Services include replacing fire bricks, baffle plates, and glass, as well as refurbishing tired appliances. Our solutions extend the lifespan of your stove while maintaining safety standards.
