How do I book an appointment at the showroom or arrange a survey?

What is a multi-fuel stove?
As the name suggests, a multi-fuel stove allows you to burn more than just wood as fuel in your stove. You can also use coal, peat, smokeless fuel as well as logs. A wood-burning stove can only be used to burn logs.
Is a log burner a good investment?
Absolutely! They can come with an expensive set-up cost. However, in the long run, they will certainly save you money on your heating bills.
What is the best way to clean my stove?
Carefully remove all ash from the stove. Take your time as this can be messy! Clean the glass using a stove glass cleaner. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or a dry cloth to clean outside the stove.
How does the cost of a wood-burning stove compare to electric and gas heating?
A wood-burning stove costs about a third of the price of electric heating and approximately 13% less than gas central heating for the average household!
Is a wood-burning stove better for the environment than an open fire?
Yes. A modern efficient Ecodesign stove emits 80% less particulates into the atmosphere than an open fire and this assists in government’s clean air policies. Wood is also a renewable resource.
