Hwam 3120C Wood Burner Installation, Fleet, Hampshire

Posted on by David Cox

This beautiful modern wood burner is a Hwam 3120C was installed in a property in Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire. The Hwams are fantastic stoves with the highest fuel efficiency & a very clean burn. This is our go to brand when it comes to fitting contemporary freestanding styles of wood burners. The installation features a black granite hearth with a lightly textured finish which is laid directly over the new flooring. As the property was without a chimney we installed a new external Twinwall chimney system by Poujoulat in a black finish throughout.

This installation was part of the total renovation of the room – which included new flooring, skirting boards, wood paneling and new radiators. This was the perfect situation for us – we were able to fit the lintels and cut the hole through the wall at the early stage of the renovation. We then completed the plastering and fitted the entire length of the external flue. Once the floor was fitted and decorating completed it is the perfect time to lay the hearth and do the final install and commissioning of the wood burner it’s self.

Inglenook Fireplace with New Woodburner & New Brick Hearth

Posted on by David Cox

We were asked to update this inglenook fireplace in a heritage property in Bentworth, near Alton, East Hampshire.

Firstly we removed a very old and inefficient wood burner and the existing chimney liner. The customer chose the very stylish Stovax Chesterfield wood burning stove as a replacement.

We decided to keep the original fireplace hood in situ as it was an original feature of the inglenook fireplace. A custom register plate was created to close the hood off from the room. We managed to replicate the rivets and slightly distress the finish to match the original fireplace hood.

The inglenook fireplace originally had an inadequate quarry tile hearth. It was decided to extend the hearth in a rustic brick work. This now provides the correct projection in front of the stove and matches in very well to the property.

This is a great example of how we can work with existing features to create something that looks as if it has always been there. Please get in touch if you have similar requirements for a new Woodburner, brick hearth or if you want to renovate your inglenook fireplace.

Esse 100SE Multi Fuel Stove Installation, Chawton, Alton, Hampshire

Posted on by Dave

FireBug remodelled this fireplace with a stove installation in Chawton. The original was an inefficient open fire with brickwork surround. We removed this, relined the fireplace with a nice multi blend brickwork & fitted a non combustible mantle piece. The customers design required us to set the mantle piece in a position where an oak mantle would have been too close to the flue pipe. The solution for the was to install a non-combustible beam – you would be hard pressed to guess that this wasn’t actually a wooden beam.

The stove is a traditional styled Esse 100SE mutli fuel. A perfect stove for the wide opening. We sat this upon a large riven slate hearth. Although a hearth of this size is beyond the minimum requirements set out by the building regulations – a deep heath like this means that the stove door will stay over the hearth even when fully open. This prevents any ash dropping from the door onto the carpet.

We left the customer with a great way to heat their living room, which is clean, efficient and a great central feature for the room.

Chesney’s Salisbury 8 Log Burner With Twin Wall Flue System

Posted on by Dave

One of our customers wanted to create a new focal point for their living room. They required a larger stove for the size and location of the room. We decided to fit a Chesney’s Salisbury 8 Multi Fuel stove. As there was no existing chimney present in the room we fitted a new factory made twin wall flue system by Poujoulat. The Twin wall flue system ran out through the wall and up the outside of the property.

To be in keeping with the house we opted to build a false chimney breast to house the log burner. This was a brickwork construction with a rustic rural blend brick interior. The customer specified a very rustic riven slate hearth & slim oak mantlepiece.

The Chesney’s Salisbury 8 gave the room a perfect central point. The final product blended in perfectly and gave them an efficient way of heating the room with a renewable fuel.

Contura 556 Style Wood Burner Installation, Farringdon, Alton, Hampshire

Posted on by Dave

FireBug were commissioned to install a Contura 556 freestanding wood burner in a new build property in Farringdon, near Alton.

The house had been built with a mock chimney stack. This required us to install an internal twin wall chimney system to expel the combustion gasses from the wood burner. This ran up through the bedroom on the first floor where we tucked it into the corner of the room. The flue must be boxed in on every floor above the ground floor. The upside is, once the boxing in is plastered and decorated, it quickly disappears into the background. In the loft we built a cage around the flue, this makes inspection of the flue nice and easy whilst keeping combustible materials away from the flue.

The Chimney exists through the roof in a black finish – this always helps the flue to blend in, especially with this stye of property.

Stuv Inset Log Burner Installation, Bordon, Hampshire

Posted on by Dave

FireBug were asked to fit a stove into this customers brickwork fireplace. When a fireplace opening is very small it is often best to fit an inset log burner. This type of stove will give you the biggest firebox for the size of the opening, as opposed to a freestanding that will need an air gap around the stove. The Stuv inset log burner looked great with the very modern looking fireplace. We removed the original fireback, swept and then lined the chimney. Fitting and testing the Stuv inset was the final stage.

The Stuv inset log burner is one of FireBug’s favourite inset stoves available, along with the Contura i4 – the goto stoves when a small inset log burner is required.
