Common Questions

Stove & Fireplace Questions

Straight answers on HETAS registration, building regulations and what a wood burning stove installation in Greater Manchester or Lancashire actually involves.

Do I need a HETAS registered installer to fit a wood burning stove?

You don't have to, but using one is the simplest way to stay legal. A HETAS registered installer can self-certify that your wood burning or multi-fuel stove meets Building Regulations (Approved Document J) and notify your local authority for you. The alternative is paying Building Control to inspect and sign off the work. Tru Heating is HETAS registered, so every installation is self-certified and you receive an official HETAS certificate.

Do I need building regulations approval for a log burner?

Yes. Installing a wood burning or multi-fuel stove is notifiable work under Building Regulations Approved Document J, which covers the appliance, hearth, flue, air supply and carbon monoxide alarm. When Tru Heating carries out the work as a HETAS registered installer, the installation is self-certified and registered with your local council automatically.

How much does wood burning stove installation cost?

It depends on whether you have an existing chimney, the flue or twin-wall system required, and any hearth or chimney-breast work. As a guide, fitting a stove into a sound existing chimney with a flexible liner typically starts around £1,000–£1,800 plus the stove, while a new twin-wall flue system on a property with no chimney costs more. We provide a free fixed quote after a site survey.

Can you install a wood burning stove without an existing chimney?

Yes. Where there is no masonry chimney we install an insulated twin-wall flue system that runs internally or up an external wall. We survey the property, confirm the route and clearances, and fit everything to HETAS and Building Regulations standards.

How long does a stove installation take?

A straightforward stove installation into an existing chimney is usually completed in one day. A new twin-wall flue system, or work that involves opening up a fireplace, building a hearth or fitting a new lintel, typically takes two to three days.
