E. Thompson, Sweeping and Stove Installations

07/06/2026

It's been a week of stone surrounds! We installed a Gallery Limestone surround and cast iron insert ready for a coal effect gas fire. And the Cast Tec Durham in black granite with a Hunter Parkray Aspect 7 Multifuel stove running on a Scheidel Tecnoflex flue liner system. Both these projects still have a little way to go but that's the really messy knockouts and chimney sweeping done first. Please give us a call or message to see how we can work with your ideas.

Busy day today opening up downstairs and repairing this chimney stack!

Dodgy installation put right on Thursday. Only a year old. Flue liner not connected to the adapter, clearances to combustible beam not observed, chimney not swept properly prior to liner installation amongst other things. Deadly Carbon monoxide and fumes risk, fire hazard. The Carbon monoxide alarm wasn't fixed up on the wall so wouldn't have been detecting anything either.
This was installed by a HETAS registered installer. Even charged for chimney liner insulation - can confirm none present.

Our favourite fireplace installations. Both old and new! We can work with and restore existing features or install something more modern, even just something functional. If these photos have given you some ideas then please get in touch today and beat the winter rush.
We also sweep and service your burners for ongoing aftercare yearly. Issuing HETAS sweeping certificates if you need one for moving house or insurance purposes. We stand by our own installations for 6 years as a requirement of being HETAS registered!

Another great before and after here. This really shows just what we can do to bring dated fireplaces back to life while retaining period features. It's not often we can use wooden surrounds due to rules on clearances to combustible materials but sometimes it works! This will certainly kick out more heat than the old electric, pretend open fire.

Two fireplaces we've been giving a facelift this week in the same house! In the living room we removed all the grime from the sandstone surround with our needle descaler and fitted a multi fuel Mendip Loxton 5. And in the snug we removed the old and inefficient Little Wenlock and fitted the Castle Tiverton Wood burner. The customer hasn't decided on whether they want brick slips or paint in the chambers but that's okay. The adapters we use make it very easy to remove the appliances in future for tiling.
