Wood Burning Stove Installation in Romford
Romford has a wide mix of property types — Edwardian and Victorian terraces in the central areas, 1930s semis through Rise Park, Gidea Park and Collier Row, and more recent builds further out. The terraced and semi-detached stock from the early 20th century typically has original chimney stacks that have never been used for solid fuel in living memory — excellent candidates for stove installation once the flue is swept and lined. The 1930s stock similarly has chimney stacks serving original fireplaces, many of which have been converted to gas or blocked over the decades.
Straight stove installs and full conversions from gas or blocked fireplaces are the most common jobs in Romford. If the fireplace has been converted to gas, we coordinate the Gas Safe engineer, reinstate the opening, line the flue and fit the stove.

Stove Installation FAQ
Do I need HETAS certification for a stove installation in Romford?
Yes. Building Regulations Part J requires HETAS notification for all solid fuel appliance installations. Allchimney Stoves issues HETAS certification and notifies building control on your behalf. Your home insurer will ask for this certificate.
How long does a stove installation take in Romford?
A straight install — existing chimney, ready fireplace — takes two half-days. Lining and chimney product on day one, stove connected and commissioned on day two. A full conversion from a blocked or gas fireplace runs in two phases with a gap for decoration between them.
