FAQs

A wood-burning stove is designed exclusively for logs and typically has a flat firebed; a multi-fuel stove includes a grate or ashpan so it can burn manufactured smokeless fuels or coal, as well as wood. If you choose the wrong type of fuel for the appliance you’ll reduce efficiency and may invalidate warranties.

Do I need a restrictor or liner when installing a new stove?
Often yes. Many chimney flues need inspection or relining to provide correct draft, prevent smoke escape, and meet safety standards. If your chimney is outdated, damaged or incorrectly sized you’ll likely need a flexible steel liner or twin-wall system.

 

Yes. In England & Wales, installations of solid fuel appliances must comply with HETAS standards and often Building Regulations (Part J). Using a HETAS-registered installer means the certificate can be issued directly.
Your stove must stand on a non-combustible hearth that meets minimum depth and projection requirements. Also, manufacturers define clearances to walls, adjacent furniture, and combustibles. These must all be followed for safety and compliance.
Yes — but you’ll need the correct flue system such as a twin-wall insulated chimney or external flue, and you must ensure adequate ventilation and legal compliance.

It depends on the appliance and your local area. In smoke-control zones, you must use a stove that is either DEFRA-approved or burn authorised fuels. Also, logs should be well-seasoned (“Ready to Burn”, moisture < 20%).

For wood- or multi-fuel stoves: at least once a year for smokeless fuels, and twice a year if burning wood heavily. Also inspect for debris, drafts, or degradation that could affect safety or performance.

A rough guide: around 1 kW per 14 m³ of room volume, but many other factors (insulation, layout, heat loss) will affect the correct size. Oversized stoves can lead to overheating, inefficiency or excessive flue temperatures.
Yes. Improper installation, non-compliance of flue/chimney, or improper fuel use can void your warranty or insurance. Using a registered installer and issuing a compliance certificate helps maintain cover.
Beyond regular sweeping, you should: check seals and gaskets, inspect the flue for wear or corrosion, ensure air vents are clear, clean glass if present, and follow the stove manufacturer’s instructions for refuelling and operating. The installer should provide user guidance.
