Frequently Asked Questions
Do new build homes in Abingdon need special consideration for stoves?
Yes. Modern airtight construction often requires an external air supply to ensure proper ventilation. We design with this in mind.
Can you remove my existing gas fire?
Yes. We can safely decommission gas fires and adapt the opening for a wood burning stove.
Do I need planning permission for a stove?
Not usually. However, listed buildings or certain conservation areas may require permission for flue work. We advise during the survey.
How quickly can installation be completed?
Most projects take one to two days, but twin wall flues or hearth reconstruction may add time.
Will I receive certification?
Yes. All customers receive a HETAS Certificate of Compliance for insurance and Building Control.
