Burton Bradstock fireplaces
Burton Bradstock is a conservation village of stone and thatch, and thatch changes the rules completely. Around the village green and along Shadrach and Southover there are a good number of thatched cottages where the flue requirements are considerably stricter than they are on a tiled roof.
On thatch the flue has to terminate a set distance above the ridge, the liner needs insulating along its full length so the chimney doesn't transmit heat into the thatch, and a spark arrestor is expected. Getting any of that wrong is a genuine fire risk and an insurance problem. It's specialist work and it gets specified at survey, not improvised on the roof.
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.
