FAQs

> How long will my installation take?

How long it takes to install a wood burner can vary depending on several factors. If you’re replacing an old stove with a new one, and the existing flue and hearth are in good condition, the installation can be relatively quick – usually done in a day or two. On the other hand, for a new installation in a home that doesn’t have an existing stove or chimney, it could take up to a week.


> Do I need planning permission?

In the UK, you generally do not need planning permission to install a wood burning stove, provided you are not making any external alterations to the outside appearance of the building. However, there are some situations where permissions or notifications might be necessary, such as if you live in a listed building or a conservation area.


> How much will it cost?

How much you can expect to pay for your stove installation can vary based on what you need. For a single storey kit, it’s around £700-£1000. If you need a twin wall flue system, budget around £2000 for installation. Our guide has more information on average 2023 costs.


> How do I prepare for installation?

Preparing to have your stove installed can ensure a smoother process and potentially reduce the time the installers need to spend on the job. Some things you can do include: Clear the area: Remove any furniture, rugs, curtains, or other items from around the installation site. Accessibility: Ensure there’s a clear path from the entrance of your home to the installation site. This might involve moving furniture or other obstacles that could get in the way of carrying the stove and other heavy equipment. Cover furniture and floors: Even with the best care, the installation can produce a lot of dust, especially if there’s any building work involved. Use dust sheets or plastic covers to protect furniture, and consider laying down protective coverings for your floor.


> Will the installation be messy?

Yes, installing a wood burner can be messy. Whether it’s the dust from modifications to an existing fireplace, debris from removing old materials, or soot from chimney sweeping, you can expect some mess to be involved. However, our professional installers will make sure everything’s protected with dust sheets and clean up post-installation so you can enjoy your stove.


> Do I need a chimney?

While traditional wood burners were often connected to chimneys, you don’t actually need to have a chimney in your home to have a stove. If you have a newer property, you can use a twin-wall flue system instead. This is a special stove pipe that’s directed out through a wall or ceiling. .
