Maiden Newton fireplaces
Maiden Newton and the villages along the Frome and Hooke — Cattistock, Frampton, Toller Porcorum — are a mix of older stone cottages, Victorian additions around the station, and later infill housing. The valley setting means some properties sit low and sheltered, which affects how a flue behaves.
Sheltered valley sites can suffer sluggish draw in still, damp weather, particularly with a short flue or a low terminal. Flue height and terminal position get checked carefully here, and a smoke test at survey shows what a chimney is actually doing rather than what it should do on paper. Where there's no existing chimney in a newer property, a twin wall system solves it outright.
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.
