Jobsons Fire & Chimney Centre

Stove & chimney specialists

A proper fire,fitted properly.

Wood burners, multi-fuel stoves, chimney lining and twin wall flue systems — installed by one tradesman, start to finish. Same person surveys the job, does the work, and hands you the certificate at the end.

What we do

Everything from the hearth to the pot

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.

01

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.

02

Flue installations

Chimney liners and twin wall systems fitted, insulated and sealed, whether there's an existing chimney to work with or nothing at all.

03

HETAS certificate

Every installation signed off and certified, with the notice plate fitted. That's the paperwork your insurer and any future buyer will ask for.

04

Opening up fireplaces

Small or blocked openings widened to take a burner — lintels, beams, brickwork and all the building work that comes with it.

05

Hearths

Slate, granite, stone and concrete hearths supplied and laid to the correct size and clearances for the appliance going on them.

06

Brick slips & fireboard

Chambers lined in brick slips or fireboard for a clean, square finish that stands up to the heat and looks right in the room.

07

Chimney cowls

Anti-downdraught cowls, bird guards and rain caps fitted to the pot and made weathertight.

What customers say

★★★★★

Jake came to fit out new liner and woodburner that they recommended for us. Wow, what an amazing job he didy you can really see through his work how he takes so much pride in what he does, we are thrilled and cannot recommend him enough. Thankyou (:

Callum and Jake fitted our log burner with minimal fuss and excellent proffesionalism. They were friendly, punctual and took extreme caution. Two fine gentlemen who stayed later than we had expected to ensure the job was completed to a very high standard. We will be recommending Jobson's Fire and Chimney to anyone and everyone!

★★★★★

Earlier this year Callum came and swept 2 of our chimneys. Recently Jake came and removed and refitted a new fire insert. On both occasions the work was undertaken in a very professional manner and with great care. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recomending their services to anyone and long may they continue doing their excellent work.

Common questions

Before you pick up the phone

Do I need a chimney to have a wood burner?
No. If there's no chimney breast, a twin wall insulated flue system can be run internally through the roof or up an external wall. It's a bigger job than lining an existing chimney, but it opens up rooms that were never built for a fire.
How long does an installation take?
A straightforward stove and liner into an existing opening is usually a day. Forming a new opening, fitting a beam and hearth, or running a twin wall system typically takes two to three days depending on access and the building work involved.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Every installation is signed off and certified, with a notice plate fixed near the meter or consumer unit. Keep it safe — your insurer and any future buyer will ask for it.
My fireplace is too small for a stove — can it be opened up?
Usually, yes. A small opening can be widened and squared off to take a burner, which means a new lintel, brickwork and often a new hearth. All of that building work is done in-house, so you're not chasing a builder and an installer separately.
Can I buy my own stove and just have it fitted?
Yes, though it's worth a conversation first — output, flue size and the room's ventilation all need to match. Stoves can be supplied directly too, which usually works out simpler and keeps the whole job under one warranty.
What does it cost?
Every chimney is different, so pricing is done after a look at the job rather than over the phone. The survey and written quote are free, and the figure quoted is the figure charged unless something unexpected turns up behind the plaster — in which case you'll be told before any extra work happens.
