Case studies
A closer look at our work
Some installations ask more of us than others. These are a few of the more specialist projects we have designed and fitted across Yorkshire, where careful planning and bespoke work turn a stove into the centrepiece of the room.
These case studies show the detail behind real stove and fireplace installation work, from straightforward wood burning stove fits to more involved HETAS projects with twin-wall flues, chambers, hearths and bespoke surrounds.
Use them to compare how different homes across Yorkshire were approached, including projects near Leeds, York, Harrogate and the coast. If one looks close to what you have in mind, follow the links into the full story or start with the home survey form.
