Sounds like a bargain, ask what the smooth fireboard is, if it’s Glasroc they are cowboys.

Sounds about right. I’d probably spend a bit more on the stove unless you have a particular model/bargain in mind.

Just had one installed in my front room and it was just over £2k but the stove was £850 and I knocked out the fire place/chimney breast myself and bought (not installed) the stone hearth myself.

HETAS registered?

I would rather pay a little more and have a safe install, after what we went through first time!

First cowboy builder charged me £1500, cost me another £2000 to have the fire installed correctly 🙁

1100 quid including 4.5kw stove, all liners, bends, flue bits, register plate, cowling for cash with no **** scaffold.
It’s not what you know but who.
Oh and fully Hetas certified.
Wasn’t worth me going on the roof for that!

Thanks guys, so the price seems pretty good then 🙂

Tiger clean burn is my fav so far

@ski yes Hetas registered, i’ve read some right horror stories, quite a few on here! I think from a post in 2012 one was going on for over 8 weeks, fitter kept forgetting the tools, asked to borrow the customers 😯

@wrightyson bargain!

@jam bo thanks

@footflaps very useful breakdown that cheers

@mranger what stove did you get?

I got a Morso Badger:

nice stoves those tiger plus

we bought one few years back

sold it after 4 years use for £150

now got a dunsley stove, must admit its much better, but twice the cost

twinw4ll – you rarely come in these threads with anything positive to say do you, you grumpy bugger? nearly as bad as Wrightyson and his tales from the concrete! 😉

Woooaaahhh there stoner the winky face does not excuse blatant fight picking! I come with all manner of constructive advice 😥

I dont mean in this thread you splattered-wellie numpty.

Ive seen you two in action and it’s worrying.

Two?
Concrete is merely the tip of my expertise. Today I have managed to drive the tele handler, move the 360, fit 3 running outlets and 3 gutter brackets plus look after a site of 10 whole men. Skillz I tell you 8)

Hobbit stove including register plate, flue liner and fitting HETAS registered etc for just under £1100

Hobbit stove

Hah! They named a stove after a Harry Potter film. Whatever next.

move the 360

My little boy can “move” a 360.

The insurers take a v dim view of it mind…

I smell testosterone. 🙂

cruzcampo I have that Tiger Stove and I find it impossible to control the burn rate, the control on the front does next to nothing.

Getting a Burley Hollywell installed in less than 2 weeks, its sat in the windows bay at the moment.

Gas fire removed and capped off
Fireplace is being knocked out, plastering done to tidy this up.
Flue lined
Slate hearth fitted
Register plate fitted
All in cost is about 2250 for the stove and above work by Hetas registered fitters.

There may be some discrepancy between building regs here in NI and other places but when I qas getting quotes for our installation a local stove supplier informed me in no uncertain terms it was illegal not to have flue liner. After some digging around on the internet I was none the wiser, it seemed a grey area. As it turned out a friend of my dad worked in building control and told me the facts.

It’s recommended of course, but not necessary if your chimney is in good condition and your install is done correctly. I’m sure someone will be along to correct me, and explain the killerific perils of what will happen if you don’t get your flu lined but I’ve been happily not dead for a year now.

mine was installed by heats engineer

no need for liner, smoke tested the chimney to be sure, if had had a coal fire in the past, cowl put on top of chimney, register plate custom made and installed, external soot door installed into chimney breast

stove fitted to specs, certificate issued,

£600 including cowl, soot door, plate, and .5 metre of flue

can’t believe some of you think £2000 is a good price

either you live down south, or were born with your trousers down 😆

Pfft, we got proper rinsed. Wanted a Mendip, after lots of teeth sucking and head shaking from the supplier, missus opted for a Clearview instead at £1200…

Opted for the upgraded liner too.

During the works they realised they had to board the fireplace so once it was all done we were closer to £4k than 3… 😥

Still, it burns bits of wood, which is what it’s all about, eh? *sobs quietly into a corner*

Have just had one fitted by a HETAS engineer, sorted out the hearth and chimney breast myself, £720 all in including the stove and flexi liner. 8)

installation a local stove supplier informed me in no uncertain terms it was illegal not to have flue liner

this is probably true – but not all liners are metallic retro fit SHORT TERM liners.

undamaged well treated clay liners is just as good – if sized appropriately.

sticking a 6 inch pipe into a 12 inch clay liner is asking for a big issues as the gas speed /temperature changes lead to condensate.

The whole “illigal” thing strikes me as trying to drum up business from scare tactics and if they tried that round mine they would get chased out the door.

http://salamanderstoves.com Link to the Hobbit stove, named because of its small size.

Fyi anyone that cares,

Looking for a slate hearth – get down your local reclaimation yard.

Safe dem dundees yard knocking out 1/3rd of a snooker table base 1 inch thick caithness black slate suitable for a hearth finisher if you habe a constructional hearth under for 75 quid a piece.

Got it cut and polished for 35 quid , lad at the stone cutters said it was lovely to work with unlike alot of the cheaper slate hearths he gets asked to cut.

Looks awesome in my mates house.
