Multi-fuel stoves are one of the most popular choices we install for homeowners across the UK, and it is easy to understand why. They offer genuine flexibility, allowing you to burn wood, coal, and approved smokeless fuels depending on what is available, what suits your budget, and what your local regulations allow. Whether you are replacing an old open fire, upgrading a tired log burner, or adding a stove to a room that has never had one before, our team will guide you through every stage of the process from the very first conversation to the moment you light your first fire.
A wood-only stove is designed specifically for burning logs. It typically has a fixed, solid base inside the firebox because wood burns best on a bed of ash. A multi-fuel stove works differently. It has a raised grate and an ash pan beneath it, allowing air to circulate underneath the fuel. This arrangement is what makes it possible to burn solid fuels such as coal and smokeless fuel efficiently, since those fuels need airflow from below to combust properly. Wood can still be burned in a multi-fuel stove, though you may find you get slightly less heat output from logs compared with a dedicated wood burner of the same size. For most households, that trade-off is well worth it given the added choice you gain.
If you live in a Smoke Control Area, which covers most towns and cities in England, Wales, and Scotland, you will need to burn only approved smokeless fuels or use a stove that has been DEFRA-exempt. Our team will check this with you before recommending any product, so you never have to worry about falling foul of local rules. We only supply and install stoves that meet current UK regulations, and we will be straightforward with you if a particular model or fuel type is not suitable for your property.
We handle the full installation from start to finish. Our installers carry out a thorough survey of your home before any work begins, assessing your chimney or flue, the size of the room, and how the stove will be used day to day. This is not a tick-box exercise. It shapes every recommendation we make, from the output rating of the stove to the liner diameter required for your flue.
A typical installation with us covers the following:
Most installations take between one and two days, depending on the condition of your existing chimney and whether any additional work is needed. If we discover during the survey that your flue needs relining or that your hearth needs to be extended, we will let you know in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
Multi-fuel stoves suit a wide range of properties and households. They work particularly well in the following situations:
It is worth preparing your home before our installers arrive. Clear the area around the fireplace or installation point, and if you have an existing open fire, let us know the last time the chimney was swept. A clean flue makes our job more straightforward and often reduces the overall time on site. We will give you a full list of preparation steps when you book with us, so nothing catches you off guard.
Book with us and our team will take care of every detail, giving you a stove that is installed safely, correctly, and built to last through many winters to come.
“We had a cast iron wood burning stove installed in our kitchen diner and it has completely changed how we use the room. The whole family gathers around it in the evenings now. The installation team were friendly, professional and left no mess whatsoever.”
“The pricing was transparent with no hidden extras, which I really valued after getting some vague quotes from other companies. The installation was carried out to a high standard and our stove has been faultless since day one. Excellent service.”
“Fitted a log burner into our 1930s semi and it works a treat. The installer was efficient and clearly experienced, and took care not to damage our original tiled hearth. Really chuffed with how it's all turned out.”
“I wasn't sure what size stove I needed and the team gave genuinely useful guidance rather than just upselling the most expensive option. The stove they recommended is perfect for our lounge and installation went smoothly. Very satisfied.”
“Straightforward process and a quality result. The wood burning stove heats our downstairs completely and we barely touch the central heating now. Installation was clean and the guys were polite throughout.”
“The survey visit was thorough and the installer flagged a potential flue issue early on, which saved us hassle further down the line. Everything was sorted and the stove is now installed and working brilliantly. Really appreciated the honesty.”
