Stovax & Gazco

Stovax & Gazco, British manufacturer of stoves, fires and fireplaces

Stovax & Gazco manufactures wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric stoves, fires and fireplaces. The company presents itself as the UK's largest producer of stoves and fireplaces and groups its catalogue around two brands: Stovax, focused on wood burning and multi-fuel stoves and fires, and Gazco, focused on gas and electric stoves and fires.

Wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric stoves

The stove range includes traditional and contemporary models, with wood burning and multi-fuel, gas and electric versions, as well as small wood burning stoves and boiler stoves. The firm states that it has been dedicated to the development and manufacture of high-quality wood burning and multi-fuel stoves for more than 25 years, and that its offering of these products is one of the widest in Europe, with models and colours for different types of interior.

Stovax stoves are made from cast iron and steel and are described as clean burning and highly efficient, available in sizes and styles to suit most rooms. In the Gazco range, the company highlights flame effect technology in gas and electric stoves.

Fires: inset, wall mounted, hearth mounted and freestanding

The fire range covers several types: inset and cassette fires, freestanding fires, hearth mounted fires and wall mounted fires. Each type is offered in wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric versions. The company states that its wood burning and multi-fuel fires use recent technologies to achieve high-efficiency heating, with traditional and contemporary designs that make the fire the focal point of the home. For gas and electric fires, it emphasises that they can be installed even without a chimney.

Fireplaces and mantels

Fireplaces are available in traditional and contemporary designs, with wood burning and multi-fuel, gas and electric versions. Mantels are available in cast iron, stone and wood. Stovax's Classic Fireplaces line takes its inspiration from genuine 19th Century designs: according to the company, each piece is hand cast to the same specification as the Georgian and Victorian originals and receives a detailed finish.

Accessories, components and chimney systems

The firm offers a wide collection of accessories, installation components, care and maintenance products and spare consumables for stoves, fireplaces and fire baskets. Among the chimney systems is Professional XQ, which includes six flue diameters from 125 mm to 300 mm together with a complete range of fixings and accessories, configurable to suit virtually any installation requirement. The company states that items are kept in stock for next-day delivery when required.

Advice, installation and maintenance

The site offers guidance for those considering buying a stove, fire or fireplace: choosing the right appliance, how a stove works, chimney and flue options, smoke control areas, wood burning benefits and the importance of a site survey. It also addresses frequently asked questions, such as whether you can install a wood burning stove without a chimney or the options for placing a wood burning appliance in a new build, as well as information on the applicable regulations. For homeowners with appliances already installed, the company publishes maintenance and care tips for wood burning, multi-fuel, gas and electric stoves and fires, along with troubleshooting guides and safety notices.

Retailer network and customer relationship

Stovax & Gazco does not sell directly to the end public through its website: it has a network of specialist retailers and offers a product and stockist finder, brochure downloads, product registration, service call requests and promotions. The company also has a programme for businesses to apply to become retailers. Among the corporate information published are quality, environmental, health and safety policies, technical information, warranty, spare parts and a careers section.
