Bugger can't find where I have my photo.
Nice by the way and great to see a Border loving it too, ours plonk himself right in front.

I took a video of mine to show a customer how much nicer the flame effect in a stove can be compared to an open fire. Ironically it was to put him off fitting a stove like that one^

Fantastic selection. Nothing beats cold nights infront of a burning stove. The smell, ambient noise and mesmerising flames.
Wish I could fit one in my house.

Apart from munkster ^^ everybody has really neat, tidy and clean fireplaces. Ours looks a real mess.

Wow, now they are proper fireplaces.
Ours replaced a 70s backboiler earlier this year:
The cats seem to like it!

Ours is on every night at this time of year and just don't get round to clearing it all up every day - took that photo just before I posted it so unstaged... I guess I could've tidied up a bit but didn't want to disturb the heat-seeking moggy

Keep them coming guys as we are having one installed in the New Year going for a modern burner though , Does £1150 sound reasonable to take out a back boiler and install new burner?

hard to say. does that include price of burner, liner etc ?

That sounds a good deal. It cost us that to have a hearth fitted, flue liner and wood burner installed and a chimney pot with bird cap. We'd already removed the back boiler, opened up the fireplace, and made good where the gas pipes used to run. You won't look back, it's primal!
Edit: 1100 quid to supply and fit hearth, liner, register plate, pot etc and install and sign off the burner. We bought the burner ourselves as we got a deal the fitter couldn't better and happily recommended we went with it.

This is an install i did a few weeks ago. Not quite a 'wood' burner as such but a pellet boiler.

No picture of it, but one of our firewood customers has a stove that'll take logs upto 3' and either side of it you can stack a half cubic metre of wood in the fireplace. Huge fireplace. It covers half the breast end of the pub.

I would love to put in a fire, how much would it cost?Depends. I spent about £2,000 including the cost of the stove. We reused the stone from the previous fireplace which saved a bit. If you need the chimney lining then costs could be higher.

In order to open up the fireplace that had been closed in around the back boiler/ gas fire combo, and make good of the concrete base for the hearth , move the lintel up two brick courses (aesthetics really) and make good the plaster work around it probably cost us 400 quid including materials. The charnwood 4 cost us about 500, and the rest as above cost us 1100 quid, so pretty much 2k. We shopped around quite a bit, and we were getting lots of quotes where the fitters insisted on scaffolding (extra 400 quid) to sort the chimney pot and flue liner. But the guy we used did it all off ladders, but had cherry picker option if access was an issue. A few companies wouldn't even come out and quote without a deposit....obviously they didn't get the job. We had ours done in June, and as they were quieter we could haggle a deal with most of them.
Very happy with the woodburner and the installer/ follow up advice/ service. If anyone in Surrey wants details, let me know.Posted 5 months ago # -

I'm not sure this will work.
Ours cost around £2,000. Included taking out the back boiler, lining, multifuel stove and fitting.
Edit: Arrrgghh - can somebody post my picture up please.
