About wood burning stove installation services
The flue usually needs lining, the hearth has to meet minimum dimensions, and a permanent air vent may be required depending on the output. In a smoke control area — most UK cities — only a DEFRA exempt appliance may be used, and since 2021 only seasoned wood and approved fuels may be sold for it.
