Barton Supplies Ltd

Barton Supplies Ltd brings fireplaces, stoves, and advice for home-heating projects together in the village of Barton-le-Clay. It is a family-run business with more than 40 years of experience in the trade and a showroom where customers can compare heat sources, styles, and finishes in person. The company serves Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire.

The business’s local story reaches back to a shop that, during the 1950s and 1960s, divided its space among coal storage, a dairy freezer, and a launderette. Over time it became a specialist fireplace and stove showroom. The company presents that evolution as part of its family-business identity: a village shop that grew from everyday services into a place for planning the focal point of a home.

The showroom includes solid-fuel, gas, electric, and bioethanol fires, as well as cook stoves, outdoor products, and accessories. Each system suits different installation conditions: a wood-burning stove requires attention to the flue and the heat output needed for a room, while electric or bioethanol options can work in different setups. The team helps customers compare products and components before shaping a project.

For a new installation, Barton Supplies offers site surveys and quotes at no charge and with no obligation. The company says its specialists assess the space, consider the appliance and the home’s conditions, and prepare a report detailing the products and work required. It can also recommend technicians and engineers to carry out installation; customers can review and revise the quote before accepting it.

The custom design service includes scale drawings for a fireplace, a complete installation, a twin-wall flue, or a media wall. Many products can be made to measure for existing dimensions or a particular design idea. This stage allows the surround, hearth, stove, and flue to be considered together instead of choosing each component without regard to the finished setup.

The company also refurbishes stoves, helps locate hard-to-find or discontinued parts, and advises on alternatives. For solid-fuel customers, it sells hardwood and softwood logs, kindling, briquettes, smokeless coal, and charcoal; deliveries are arranged within a published radius of up to 25 miles. Barton also offers tutorials on lighting, efficient use, and care, and takes part in seasonal demonstrations and events.

The showroom is on Bedford Road. Published hours cover weekdays and Saturdays, while Sunday visits are by appointment. For customers still comparing options, the combination of a showroom, free survey, custom design, and installation recommendations can bring several decisions into one place, from selecting an appliance to planning the materials and work the home requires.
