Worth knowing
Worth checking before work starts
A few rules and checks that apply to this kind of work.
Fitting a stove
In England, fitting a wood burner or other solid fuel stove is notifiable building work. An installer in a scheme such as HETAS can certify it; otherwise, tell building control before work starts.
Carbon monoxide alarms
In England, when a new or replacement stove or fire burning solid fuel, gas or oil is fitted, a carbon monoxide alarm should go in the same room.
Gas fires
By law, anyone who fits or services a gas fire must be Gas Safe registered. Ask to see their ID card: the back lists the gas work they are competent to do.
Smoke control areas
In a smoke control area, you can only burn wood in an exempt appliance, such as some stoves. Your council can tell you whether you live in one.
Questions
Fireplace and stove questions
My job isn't in the list. What should I choose?
Choose the closest job, then explain what you need in the description step.
What jobs can I request quotes for here?
Wood and log burning stoves, stove fitting, fireplaces and surrounds, chimney relining, gas fires, range cooker and Rayburn servicing, and showrooms. The full list is in the form's first step.
Does relining a chimney need building control?
Yes, in England. Building regulations guidance says fitting a new or replacement flue liner is building work that must be notified to building control before it starts.
What certificate should I get when a stove is fitted?
If a HETAS registered installer fits it in England or Wales, you should receive a HETAS Certificate of Compliance, which is a Building Regulations compliance certificate.
How much does it cost to fit a wood burner?
It depends on the stove, whether the chimney needs lining or a new flue, the hearth, and how easy the chimney is to reach. Ask each installer to quote for the same stove, so the quotes compare.
How do I use a wood burner stove?
Ask the installer to show you how to light it and use the air controls, and keep the manufacturer's instructions. Burn only the fuels it is made for, and only wood that is dry.
