Why we do not publish a fixed price
Two installs that look the same from the living room can be very different jobs. One chimney is ready for a liner in an afternoon, another needs a full chamber knocked out and a new lintel. A fixed price online would either be wrong for you or padded to cover the worst case.
That is why every job is quoted after a free survey. We visit, look properly and give you a written quote with no pressure.
The main things that affect the cost
These are the parts that make the biggest difference to your quote:
- The stove: brand, size, and finish.
- The chimney: whether it needs sweeping, repairs, a liner or a new pot and cowl.
- No chimney: a twin wall flue system, or a faux chimney breast to hide it.
- Building work: opening up a fireplace, a new lintel, rendering or brick slips.
- The hearth: slate, stone, glass or tiles, and the size regulations require.
- Access: scaffolding or a tower for tall or tricky stacks.
Ways to keep costs sensible
Keeping the existing fireplace opening, if it suits the stove, saves building work. And a good stove that is sized properly will burn less wood for years to come, which matters far more over time than a small saving on day one.
