What We Love
We absolutely love how the Sunningdale takes electric flame effects to the next level. The combination of HD visuals, glowing logs, flickering sparks, and crackling sound makes it feel like a true wood-burning stove — but without the mess, emissions, or fuss. It’s opulent, it’s elegant, and it’s guaranteed to impress.
Our "Free Delivery" is a one-man service. The goods will arrive on a lorry that is about the size of a fire engine. (Please let us know in advance if you have restricted access or other local issues that could affect delivery).
The lorry has a tail lift that allows the driver to get the item(s) off the vehicle. The order will be packed and secured onto a pallet and the driver will have a pallet truck. He'll be able to wheel this as close as possible to your property. The pallet truck can only be wheeled over a finished surface so it's not possible to wheel it over a gravelled drive, steps, steep slopes for example. The pallets are normally about 1m wide so this is the minimum width gate they can fit through. Please note that the driver is not insured to unpack or carry the item(s) into your house.
Fitting Kits and Liner Packs might arrive separately by courier delivery on the same day unless specified/requested in advance. An email confirmation will be sent if this is the case.
If the goods are showing 48hr delivery, then this is the quickest time we're able to deliver these items (We do not deliver at weekends). You'll be asked to select a delivery date when purchasing the goods. Please note that if you live offshore these dates do not apply as it will take us slightly longer to get the goods to you and we will contact you directly.
Please note that it is an all-day delivery service which is generally from 9 am – 6 pm Monday to Friday. Delivery Depots, if they have the facility, will text in advance but as the vans do multiple runs a day you might not receive a text until the afternoon if this service is available.
Due to current pallet network pressures mainly due to driver shortages we cannot guarantee delivery on your chosen day but will do our best to communicate this as soon as we are made aware by the carriers.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT BOOK ANY CONTRACTORS, PLUMBER’S, OR FITTERS UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR GOODS AS UNEXPECTED DELAYS CAN OCCUR.
Hi
Can this be used in a chimney breast being built for me in timber? Are there any fire regs i have to ask builder go observe please
Question by: Dawn Senior on 12 Oct 2025, 08:25
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your query,
This is an electric stove and so a timber stud false chimney breast will be fine,
The manufacturer recommends that customers "ensure that furniture, curtains or other combustible materials are positioned no closer than 1 meter from the appliance" but this moreso refers to if the stove is freestanding in proximity to curtains, soft furnishings etc.
If this is installed into a chamber with plasterboarding for the chamber etc then there shouldn't be an issue. We would just suggest an air gap be left around the stove for access and aesthetic purposes
