Stove Servicing
We offer a full stove service which would ensure that your appliance is safe and working correctly keeping your stove in tip top condition is critical to the safety of your property and family.
Chimney Sweeping
Chimneys need to allow the free passage of dangerous combustion gasses. Regular sweeping will remove soot, bird nests, cobwebs and any other blockages. It also removes creosote, which will help to prevent dangerous chimney fires. Chimney Sweeping will also increase the efficiency of some appliances. It is recommended that you have your chimney swept at least once a year when burning smokeless fuel, quarterly with burning wood and Bituminous coal. Click here to book your Chimney Sweep
Installation Safety Checks
Similar to having your gas boiler checked, we are able to come out and issue a report for the stove installation in your property, this could be a property that you have just purchased or even looking to purchase. This will ensure that the property is safe and your family are not in danger. If the installation deemed dangerous or not compliant, we will advise you not to continue using the stove, until rectification works are completed.
Where possible we will issue an estimated cost for any works required to make the installation safe and compliant, unfortunately some installations are so far from complaint they are not cost effective to rectify and we would recommend starting from scratch but we will always do our best to rectify any issues.
Stove Door Repairs
Is your glass broken in your stove door? Are you unable to remove the old glass or have your studs broken? If so we can repair and replace your glass, simply either bring in your stove details, your door or a photograph of the door and we will provide you with an estimate. Sometimes doors cannot be repaired this could either be to the age of the stove and the lack of available spare parts or the doors are too badly worn to be repaired.
