Looking for an honest wood burning stove installer

seedys50

Can anyone help out with an honest wood burning stove installer in North east Scotland (AB53 area).
I have had some absolutely crazy quotes to install a twin waller liner to a bungalow without a chimney - nearly £4500.
They all want to make mega markups on the kit which you can get delivered for £100's cheaper if you buy yourself.
It seems a simple job - the stove i have chosen needs only 100mm clearance from combustables so no need to rip out plasterboard. Just need breaking though ceiling into loft and then out through tiled roof - all in should be about 4 metres of twin walled liner.

Any ideas welcomed.

Just buy some liner and redirect it across your room and out your front window. This will clear all fumes.

Good bit of info there highrisk................NOT. To Seedy, can you ask for a price to install and take flu outside only, then purchase and, install twin wall, save yourself a few bob this way?

Are you not handy yourself?

Or know a well trained builder?

Hubby done ours - he is a builder - and the hardest part was getting the cut right as ours is going through a sloped ceiling.

The easiest is if you are on an outside wall, take the stove pipe out the back and flue it up the side of the building - thats popular here - not really pretty but it works

If you have no chimney you will be needing the most expensive materials. These arent the same as liners used within a flueway, so when you check on line for prices make sure you have the right stuff. On top of that you need all the accessories and clamps, collars where it goes through ceilings/roofs and supports for outside etc. It may be best for you to contact a company like stoves on line who can supply the materials and also give you names of local installers prepared to fit the chimney without using their own material.

You may want to check with your local authority if its ok to use this system in your area.
