Wood burner supply
Stoves supplied to suit the room and the flue — sized properly on output rather than guessed at, and covered by one warranty with the install.
Beaminster · DT8
Wood burners, inglenooks and flue systems in Beaminster and the north-west of the county. One tradesman, start to finish — survey, building work, install and HETAS certificate.
Beaminster fireplaces
Beaminster and the villages around it — Broadwindsor, Netherbury, Mosterton — are hamstone country. Thick-walled stone houses, large original fireplaces, and a good number of properties well off the mains where solid fuel isn't a lifestyle choice but the main way the house gets warm.
That changes the brief. When a stove is a primary heat source rather than a feature, output sizing, fuel storage and how easy the appliance is to run overnight all matter more than looks. The big stone openings common here also give plenty of room for brick slips or fireboard to a proper finished chamber, rather than squeezing a burner into a hole.
What we do
Supply, installation and the building work that goes with it. One trade on site, from knocking the opening out to lighting it for the first time.
Stoves supplied to suit the room and the flue — sized properly on output rather than guessed at, and covered by one warranty with the install.
Chimney liners and twin wall systems fitted, insulated and sealed, whether there's an existing chimney to work with or nothing at all.
Every installation signed off and certified, with the notice plate fitted. That's the paperwork your insurer and any future buyer will ask for.
Small or blocked openings widened to take a burner — lintels, beams, brickwork and all the building work that comes with it.
Slate, granite, stone and concrete hearths supplied and laid to the correct size and clearances for the appliance going on them.
Chambers lined in brick slips or fireboard for a clean, square finish that stands up to the heat and looks right in the room.
Anti-downdraught cowls, bird guards and rain caps fitted to the pot and made weathertight.
