Wood burner stove installation
Wood burning stoves continue to grow in popularity thanks to their energy efficiency, style and the heat they produce.
We supply and fit wood, log and multi-fuel burner stoves into existing fireplaces with a chimney and can also install an approved twin flue and ventilation system if you don’t have a chimney.
It means you can transform any room in your house with a wood burner stove, providing there is enough space to build a flue with external access that complies with Building Regulations.
Formal Building Regulation approval is needed when you install any fireplace appliance or stove which uses a chimney or external flue.

Smoke Control Areas
Promoting green and renewable energy and reducing pollution and emissions has led to the creation of Smoke Control Areas in many parts of East and West Sussex, including Brighton.
You can only use certain types of fuel or install a Defra Approved stove if you live in a Smoke Control Area.
To check whether you live in a Smoke Control Area, visit the Government’s Smoke Control Areas webpages or contact your local authority.
