Our experience and commitment to quality control. It’s that simple. In just the past four years (from 2005), we’ve offered over 2,500 clients services that ranged from stove repairs to full design and installation projects.
This depends on a number of variables and aesthetic considerations. How big is the space you want heated, for instance? Which will match your interior décor? Have a chat with our friendly and knowledgeable Stova staff.
First of all, there is no smoky smell. More importantly, it’s generally more efficient as less heat is lost, while wood consumption, soot and ash are kept to a minimum. In the long run, this translates into a substantial financial saving.
Absolutely. First of all, wood is a renewable resource. Firewood comes primarily from domestic forests and does not need to be treated or processed the way oil and gas do. More importantly, wood is carbon neutral: burning wood releases the same amount of carbon dioxide that it extracted from the atmosphere during its lifetime.
Again, check with our Stova staff. Many of our enclosed fire appliances are DEFRA approved, which means they can burn wood even in smoke controlled areas such as London and Birmingham.
As long as you are absolutely familiar with all the regulations and laws, and have sought the relevant approvals, you can certainly do the installation yourself. Generally though, most of our clients prefer to leave the hard work to us.
You must arrange for a planning officer to inspect the installation. Ask our Stova staff for assistance in this regard. We also recommend you attend one of our beginner’s courses. Call 020 87701630.
No. Firewood should have a residual moisture content of less than 20 per cent. Damp wood is inefficient and very smoky; it also produces excess soot and causes tar to form in the chimney. This in turn can result in chimney fires. Stova delivers kiln-dried wood.
