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.
Charmouth · DT6
Fire and chimney installation in Charmouth and the surrounding Marshwood Vale. One tradesman, start to finish — survey, building work, install and HETAS certificate.
Charmouth fireplaces
Charmouth is a mix — older cottages along The Street and Higher Sea Lane, a good deal of twentieth-century housing and bungalows on the slopes above, and holiday lets throughout. Bungalows are their own problem: a short flue over a shallow roof pitch often doesn't have the height to draw properly.
Flue height is the recurring issue. Where a chimney terminates too low, or too close to a ridge or a neighbouring roof, the fix is either extending the flue or moving the terminal, and both get worked out at survey rather than discovered when the stove won't light. Holiday lets bring a second requirement — a valid certificate and correctly sited carbon monoxide alarms are non-negotiable for letting.
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.
