How much does it cost to install a wood burning stove?
In Yorkshire, a straightforward wood burning stove supply and installation typically runs from around £1,800 to £3,000. A job that needs the chimney lining usually lands between £2,500 and £4,500, and where there is no chimney and a twin-wall flue is fitted from scratch, expect from around £3,500 upwards. The stove itself is on top of that and varies widely. The only accurate figure is the one from a home survey.

What drives the cost
Four things move the price more than anything else: the stove you choose, whether the chimney needs lining or a twin-wall flue is required, the hearth and chamber work involved, and how easy the installation is to access. A simple stove into a sound, correctly sized chimney is at the lower end. A stove into an old, oversized or non-existent chimney, with a new hearth and a built chamber, is at the higher end.
The appliance is the most variable part. A quality stove can be anywhere from a few hundred pounds to well over two thousand, so it is worth separating the stove price from the installation price when you compare quotes.
What our quote includes
After the survey we give you one clear written quote with everything in it: the stove, the flue or liner, the hearth and any chamber or beam work, all labour and materials, commissioning and testing, and the HETAS certificate notified to Building Control on your behalf. No drip-fed extras.
That is deliberate. It means you can compare our quote against another like for like, and there are no surprises once the work starts.
Why we quote after a survey, not before
Every chimney and every room is different, and the honest truth is that a firm price needs a proper look. The survey checks the chimney or flue route, the hearth, the clearances and how you want to use the room, so the quote you get is the price you pay.
The survey is free and there is no obligation. It is also the point where we bring samples and talk through the options in your own home.
Common questions
Does the installation price include the stove?
We quote the stove and the installation separately so you can see both clearly, then give you one combined written price after the survey. It means you always know what the appliance costs versus the fit.
Is the quote fixed, or could it change?
The written quote after the survey is the price you pay. The only time it would change is if you ask for something different, or if something genuinely unforeseeable is found once work starts, which we would always discuss with you first.
Are there any hidden extras?
No. The quote includes the appliance, flue or liner, hearth, labour, materials, commissioning and the HETAS certificate. Everything is in the one price.
How long does a stove installation take?
A straightforward stove fit is often a day or two. Lining a difficult chimney, forming a new flue route or building a chamber can take longer. You will know the timescale before work starts.
