Wood Burner Installation Into Inglenook Fireplace, Bighton, Alresford, Hampshire

Posted on by

We were commissioned to fit a Chesney’s Shoreditch wood burner into an old inglenook fireplace in Bighton. The fireplace had been modelled a number of times over the years & was currently used as an open fire. We first removed the brick build fireplace chamber and seats. The chimney was lined and insulated and a new steel register plate fitted. We then lime rendered the interior of the fireplace and plastered the chimney breast. Where the original fire sate there was very bad damage to the brick hearth – the customer chose to have a new slate hearth laid to cover this area. We then repaired and stained the rest of the brick hearth to match the front section.

The stove is a Chesney’s Shoreditch 5 in silver finish. The hearth is a riven slate over an old brick hearth. The little door on the left of the fireplace is an old bread oven.

modern double sided wood burner

Modern Double Sided Wood Burner, Ropley, East Hampshire

This property featured an unusually deep double sided open fire. The customer opted to have us install a Parkray Aspect 4 double sided, double depth stove.

There was a lot of heat damage to the inside of the fireplace from the original open fire – we first removed all the old material and then replaced this with heat proof render. This also required us to plaster each face of the chimney breast. The chimney was actually too large a diameter for the stove to function correctly so we opted to re-line the chimney with a flexible liner and bird guard cowl. Once all this work was completed we fitted the double sided stove. The customer had requested the stove to be set up as a multi fuel appliance, which in this case was an optional multi fuel kit. Once set up and tested the fire looked great and solved the problem of the draft, inefficient open fire.

This property featured a double sided open fireplace. Fireplaces like this are often the poorest performing and as you can see by the staining above the fireplace – this one had been spilling smoke for years. To give the customer a properly working, safe and efficient way of heating their room we fitted a Parkray Aspect 4, double sided wood burner. This required us to sweep and line the chimney. The hearth looked great but did require some repair work where the original fire basket has sat. The staining on the very aged brickwork was actually a great aesthetic of this fireplace – and looked great with the addition of the new, slightly modern look of the stove.

Installation of Wood Burning Stove into Existing Decorative Brick Fireplace

This goes to show that a modern styled stove can look great paired with a traditional fireplace. As with all our installations into existing chimneys, we swept and lined the chimney and then closed the fireplace with a steel register plate. The existing hearth looked amazing already and met all the requirements set out in the building regs. The customer chose the Contura 51L cast iron wood burning stove which looked great against the traditional brick fireplace. FireBug offers a range of services to help you get the best looking stove for your property.

Wood Burning Stove Installation with Twinwall Chimney System in Upper Hale, Farnham, Surrey

This is a false chimney breast built in the extension to the original house. We installed a Twinwall system from Poujoulat up through the house exiting through the roof. The fireplace was finished in lime render with a plastered front. A large riven slate hearth and Chesney’s Salisbury 5 wood burning stove were the perfect size for this room. Even if you don’t have a chimney you can still have a fire fitted. Talk to us about your options for installing a wood burning stove in your house.
