What Does a Wood Burning Stove Installation Cost?

Nobody likes a price on application. Here is what a stove installation is actually made of, so you can read any quote you are given, including ours.

What actually moves the price

The stove itself

The widest variable. A solid budget stove and a premium one both burn wood; the difference is finish, glass size and build.

Flexible liner

Priced by the metre and by grade. Length depends on the chimney, and taller Victorian stacks cost more to line.

Register plate and closure

Seals the old fireplace opening so the stove draws through the liner rather than the whole chimney.

Hearth

Slate, granite or glass, sized to the stove's clearance requirements rather than to taste alone.

Fireplace works

Opening up a blocked breast, forming a new lintel and plastering is a job in itself and is quoted separately.

Registration

HETAS notification and the certificate, included in every quote here rather than bolted on afterwards.

The parts people are surprised by

A blocked-up fireplace that has to be opened, lintelled and made good
Tall or bent chimneys needing more liner and more scaffolding or roof access
No existing hearth, or one that is too thin for the appliance chosen
A chimney pot and cowl that need replacing at the same time
Freestanding twin-wall systems where there is no chimney at all

Where you can genuinely save

Choose a smaller output stove that suits the room rather than the biggest one on the showroom floor, keep the existing hearth if it meets the clearances, and have the sweeping and the installation done by the same person so nothing gets charged twice.

What a quote from Ember & Oak looks like

One written figure after the survey, itemised so you can see the stove, the liner, the hearth and the fireplace works separately. HETAS notification and the certificate are in the price, not added later, and the quote holds unless you change what you want.

Common questions

Why won't anyone give a price over the phone?+

Because the chimney decides most of it. A straight lined flue and a bent, tarred Victorian stack are very different jobs and only a survey tells you which you have.

Is the survey free?+

Yes. You get a written fixed quote afterwards with no obligation.

Can I supply my own stove?+

Yes, as long as it is a suitable appliance for the room and the flue. It will still be installed, commissioned and certificated properly.

Are there ongoing costs?+

An annual sweep, the occasional rope or baffle, and dry fuel. Burning wet wood is the expensive habit, not the stove.
