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.
Puncknowle · DT2
Wood burners and flue systems throughout Puncknowle, Swyre and the Bride Valley. One tradesman, start to finish — survey, building work, install and HETAS certificate.
Puncknowle fireplaces
The Bride Valley villages — Puncknowle, Swyre, Litton Cheney, Long Bredy — are small, rural and built mostly of local stone, with thatch scattered through them. Properties tend to be older, often off the mains gas network, and heated by a combination of oil and solid fuel.
Rural work has its own rhythm. Access down single-track lanes affects delivery and scaffold, and off-mains properties usually want the stove doing real work rather than looking pretty in the corner. Original flues in valley cottages are frequently unlined and sometimes shared, so the survey and smoke test matter before anything else is decided.
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.
