Heritage Range Cookers

Hand-built range cookers from a Liskeard workshop

Heritage Range Cookers designs, develops and installs its own range cookers from a family-run workshop in Cornwall. The company states it has worked in the heating sector since the late 1970s and has spent roughly the past two decades building the Heritage line. Its base is in Liskeard, a small market town in Cornwall, and every cooker is described as hand built to the customer's specification by a team of engineers at those workshops.

The range is positioned as a continuation of the historic Cornish Range, the ornate and efficient heating and cooking appliance once cast by town foundries during Cornwall's mining heyday. The company presents its cookers as carrying that design lineage forward nearly 200 years later.

Two fuel families and nine models

The catalogue is split between oil-fired and electric range cookers, with nine models in total. Sizes run from the 500 mm-wide Uno to the 1450 mm-wide Grande, so the line covers compact kitchens and large country rooms alike.

• Oil-fired: Uno, Compact, Standard and Grande.
• Electric: Compact, Standard and Grande.

The oil range is priced from £8,650 for the Uno, £9,800 for the Compact, £11,250 for the Standard and £15,900 for the Grande. Electric models start at £9,400 for the Compact, £11,200 for the Standard and £15,400 for the Grande. These figures reflect the catalogue at the time of writing this profile.

Cooking approach and customisation

Heritage cookers use radiant, indirect heat rather than direct heat, a method the company says maintains constant temperatures and retains moisture and flavour in food. The design is also credited with increased roasting and hotplate capacity and fast response times.

Each unit is built to order, with options that include dedicated slow-cooking ovens, induction hobs and built-in griddle plates. Buyers can choose between oil and electric fuel and select from a colour palette that includes Oxford Blue and Claret, paired with classic brass or nickel fittings.

Integrated heating for the home

Beyond cooking, the oil-fired ranges can be paired with a selection of integrated non-condensing boilers to provide central heating, hot water and underfloor heating. The company states that even the smallest Uno can heat up to five radiators, while the Grande can serve up to 25 without compromising hot water supply or cooking performance. Modern thermostats, including Wi-Fi-connected central heating controls, are part of the setup.

Components, service and support

The cookers combine a traditional exterior with modern internals: forced combustion burners, thermostatic controls and other components sourced from manufacturers in those fields. The company says it has prioritised British-made parts and, where these were unavailable, selected alternatives of comparable quality. Its technicians are described as handling everything from repairs to recipe book suggestions.

The site also references a boating connection through a dedicated section, and the Uno is presented as suitable both for a cosy cottage and for a houseboat.

Buying, delivery and dealer network

The website sets out a structured purchase path covering how to order, dealers, delivery and installation, terms and conditions, and a clearance section, alongside a downloadable brochure and a technical engineer login. A frequently asked questions section addresses the choice between oil and electric fuel.
