Installation and maintenance services

The company has a team of qualified surveyors, Gas Safe and HETAS approved engineers and expert fireplace installers with skills ranging from bricklaying, building and stone masonry. They offer advice on choosing the most suitable heating system and handle the complete installation of any type of fireplace or stove, including work in listed properties. They carry out installations with an existing chimney that requires relining or with a twin-wall flue when there is no chimney, and build false chimney breasts to house the fire.

They also provide chimney sweeping to maintain the safety and efficiency of fireplaces and stoves, and carry out annual gas fire servicing, which must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. On completion of the work they issue the relevant certification: gas installations are registered with Gas Safe Register and all solid fuel work is carried out in accordance with Document J of the building regulations and with HETAS approval.
