Safe, efficient chimney solutions for homes without an existing flue

  A twin wall chimney system is the perfect solution when your home doesn’t have a traditional chimney. Made from insulated stainless steel sections, these systems allow you to install a wood-burning or multi-fuel stove almost anywhere — even in modern houses, extensions, apartments, or properties with internal layout limitations.

At Eddie’s Fireplace, we design and install bespoke twin wall flue systems across London and the South East. Our HETAS-certified engineers ensure your system is fitted safely and performs efficiently, regardless of your property type.
