  • How do I choose the right size stove for my room?
    The size of the stove should be based on the room size and heating requirements. As a rough guide, you need 1 kW of heat for every 14 cubic meters of space. However, factors like insulation and window size also matter, so a professional assessment is recommended.
  • What is the difference between a wood-burning stove and a multi-fuel stove?
    A wood-burning stove is designed specifically for burning wood, while a multi-fuel stove can burn both wood and other solid fuels like coal or peat. Multi-fuel stoves have a grate and ash pan to handle the different types of fuel.
  • What are the benefits of using a wood-burning stove?
    Wood-burning stoves are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. They provide consistent heat, create a cozy atmosphere, and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
  • How does a multi-fuel stove work?
    A multi-fuel stove has a grate for solid fuels and an air supply that can be adjusted to optimise burning conditions for different fuels. It burns fuel in a controlled manner, maximising heat output and minimising waste.
  • Are wood-burning stoves environmentally friendly?
    Yes, wood-burning stoves can be environmentally friendly if they are DEFRA approved and use seasoned or kiln-dried wood. They produce less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels and can be part of a sustainable energy strategy
  • What is a hearth?
    A hearth is the floor area around the stove, made from non-combustible materials like stone or tile, designed to protect your flooring from heat and embers.
  • What is a stove chamber?
    A stove chamber is the recess where the stove sits, often lined with fireproof materials to enhance safety and aesthetics.
  • What are beams and surrounds?
    Beams and surrounds are decorative and functional elements around the stove, made from wood, stone, or metal, enhancing the look and blending the stove with your room’s decor.
  • Can I customise my fireplace with different materials and designs?
    Yes, we offer a range of customisation options for hearths, chambers, beams, and surrounds to match your style and preferences.
  • What types of wood are best for burning?
    Hardwood species like oak, ash, and beech are ideal as they burn longer and hotter. Always use seasoned or kiln-dried wood to reduce smoke and improve efficiency.
  • How do I start a fire in my stove?
    Begin with dry kindling and small pieces of wood, gradually adding larger logs as the fire builds. Ensure good airflow by opening the air vents.
  • What should I do if my stove isn’t heating properly?
    Check for issues like damp wood, blocked flue, or insufficient airflow. Cleaning the stove and chimney, or adjusting the vents, can often resolve heating problems.
  • How can I maximise the efficiency of my stove?
    Use dry, seasoned wood, maintain proper airflow, and regularly clean the stove and chimney. Using a stove thermometer can help you monitor and adjust the burn for optimal efficiency.
  • What are the running costs of a wood-burning stove?
    Running costs depend on fuel type, stove efficiency, and usage frequency. Generally, wood-burning stoves are cost-effective, especially if you source wood locally. Maintenance and occasional repairs should also be factored in.
  • Do you provide installation services?
    Yes, we provide full installation services for all the products we sell. Our professional installers ensure everything is set up safely and efficiently.

  • How long does the installation process take?
    The installation process typically takes 6-8 hours depending on the complexity of the job and the type of materials being installed.
  • What kind of maintenance does a stove require?
    Regular maintenance includes cleaning the stove and chimney, checking for blockages, and inspecting seals and gaskets. Annual professional inspections and cleanings are also recommended.
  • Are wood-burning stoves safe?
    Yes, when installed and used properly, wood-burning stoves are safe. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and have regular inspections to maintain safety.
  • How do I know if my stove is efficient?
    An efficient stove will have a high heat output with minimal fuel consumption. Look for stoves with high efficiency ratings and DEFRA approval.
  • What should I do if my stove is smoking?
    Smoking can be caused by improper wood, a blocked chimney, or inadequate ventilation. Ensure you're using dry wood, check for obstructions, and improve airflow. If the problem persists, contact a professional.
  • How often should I clean my chimney?
    Your chimney should be cleaned at least once a year, more frequently if you use your stove regularly. This prevents creosote buildup and reduces fire risk.
  • What are the signs that my stove needs professional maintenance?
    Signs include poor performance, smoke leakage, visible damage, unusual noises, and difficulty lighting or maintaining a fire.
