Wood Burning Stoves for Estates

Wood burning stoves remain a popular choice for estates, country homes and rural properties. They provide a strong focal point, practical heat output and a traditional feel that suits both period and contemporary interiors.

Bonfire supplies and installs a wide range of wood burning stoves, including freestanding, inset, double-sided, cylindrical, cast iron and steel models.

We can advise on:

• Correct stove size and heat output
• DEFRA exempt stove options

• Distance to combustibles
• Beam and mantel clearance
• Flue system design
• Suitable models for large rooms, cottages and estate buildings

For estate properties with multiple stoves, we can help create a consistent specification while still allowing each room to have the right appliance for its size, use and style.

Gas Fires for Managed Properties

Gas fires are a practical choice for estate homes, guest accommodation, reception rooms and managed residential properties where convenience and control are important.

Bonfire supplies and installs gas fires in a range of styles, including traditional gas baskets, inset gas fires, contemporary gas fireplaces, balanced flue fires, conventional flue fires and high-efficiency glass-fronted models.

We can help specify gas fires for:

• Drawing rooms

• Guest suites
• Lodges
• Cottages
• Refurbishment projects
• Period fireplaces
• Modern interiors

Our team can advise on chimney suitability, gas supply, flue requirements, appliance size and suitable fireplace finishes.

Electric Fires and Media Wall Fires

Electric fires are ideal for estate properties where a chimney is not available, heat demand is lower, or a clean decorative feature is required.

Bonfire supplies electric fires for traditional fireplace openings, media walls, fitted furniture, contemporary interiors and refurbishment projects.

We supply:

• Built-in electric fires
• Electric media wall fires
• Electric stoves
• Electric inset fires
• 3-sided electric fires
• Front-facing electric fires

Electric fires can be a strong option for bedrooms, guest accommodation, apartments, annexes, offices, lodges and rooms where a solid fuel or gas appliance is not suitable.

Bioethanol Fireplaces

Bioethanol fireplaces offer a flexible option for properties where a chimney or flue is not available. They can create a real flame effect without the same building requirements as a conventional wood or gas fire.

Bonfire supplies bioethanol fireplaces, firebaskets and burners for traditional and contemporary interiors.

Bioethanol can be suitable for:

• Decorative fireplaces
• Period-style rooms without working chimneys
• Apartments
• Reception spaces
• Guest rooms
• Design-led interiors
• Projects where a flue is not practical

Our team can advise on suitable use, clearances, ventilation and product options.

Firebaskets, Hearths and Fireplace Components

Estate fireplace projects often require more than just the main appliance. Bonfire can supply the surrounding fireplace components needed to complete the project properly.

We supply:

• Firebaskets
