Stove Installation in Farnworth
HETAS registered stove installation in Farnworth — reopening and lining chimneys in the terraces around Moses Gate, New Bury and Harper Green.
Chimney work for Farnworth terraces
Farnworth, just south of Bolton, is a former cotton and mining town and its housing shows it — dense red-brick terraces around the market, Moses Gate and New Bury, with inter-war semis toward Harper Green and Highfield. Almost every one has a chimney, and most have been closed off since central heating went in.
A boarded chimney is usually recoverable
Behind the plasterboard there is normally a sound builder's opening. We open it up, renew the lintel if needed, sweep and camera the flue, line it, and fit the stove with the correct hearth and a carbon monoxide alarm. On a standard Farnworth terrace it is a one-day job.

Frequently asked
Is Farnworth a Smoke Control Area?
Yes, Farnworth is within Bolton's Smoke Control Area, so an appliance needs to be DEFRA-exempt to burn wood, or you burn authorised smokeless fuel. We fit exempt stoves as standard and check your street at survey.
Do I need a HETAS registered installer to fit a wood burning stove?
You don't have to, but it is the simplest way to stay legal. A HETAS registered installer self-certifies that the stove meets Building Regulations (Approved Document J) and notifies your local council. The alternative is paying Building Control to inspect the work. Tru-Heating is HETAS registered, so every installation is self-certified with an official certificate.
Can you install a wood burning stove without an existing chimney?
Yes. Where there is no masonry chimney we fit an insulated twin-wall flue system that runs internally or up an external wall, to HETAS and Building Regulations standards.
How long does a stove installation take?
A straightforward install into an existing chimney is usually one day. A new twin-wall flue system, or work that involves opening up a fireplace or building a hearth, typically takes two to three days.
