Can anyone recomend a Stove fitter near Ashford, Middlesex ?
I think I know what stove I want, either a Charnwood Country 4, or the Stovax 3, as only need about 4w. I want multi fuel. I assume I will need a chimney liner, as there is currently an old gas flu liner up there, which I assume needs to come out. The fire place hole is all empty and rendered. So looking for an idea of…

I really hate having DDs coming out of my account every month for things like this. Bit of a strange question, but if they…
