šŸ”„ MYTH #3: AREN'T WOOD BURNERS BANNED? NO.

Despite some of the headlines you may have seen, wood-burning stoves are not banned in Scotland.

In fact, following a review of Scotland’s New Build Heat Standard, regulations were changed from 1 January 2025 to permit wood-burning stoves in new homes and buildings.

There are still rules around where and how a stove can be installed, which appliances can be used and what you can burn — particularly in Smoke Control Areas.

But that’s very different from a ban.

If you’ve been thinking about a wood burner but have been put off by something you’ve read or heard, don’t let the headlines make the decision for you.

At CleanBurn, we’ll check what applies to your property and location and explain your options clearly.

TAKING SHAPE šŸ”„

Once the preparation is done, the chimney system starts taking shape outside.

Section by section, the twin wall chimney is assembled, supported and brought up the property towards its final position.

It’s one of those stages of an installation where you can really start to see the finished job coming together.

ON THE TOOLS šŸ”„

There’s a bit more to installing a wood burner than putting a stove in the corner.

A few shots from behind the scenes at CleanBurn — preparing the wall pe*******on, fabricating the sleeve and getting everything ready for the twin wall chimney system.

It’s the side of an installation you don’t normally see once everything is finished.

Proper preparation. Proper installation.

MYTH #2

ā€œBIGGER STOVE = MORE HEAT = BETTER… RIGHT?ā€

It sounds logical.

Surely, the bigger the stove, the better it will heat your home?

Not necessarily.

One of the first questions we ask isn’t actually about kilowatts.

It’s:

ā€œWhat do you want from your stove?ā€

For some people, their stove will be an important source of heat.

For others, the room is already well heated. They want a beautiful focal point, the atmosphere of a real fire and some additional radiant warmth on a cold evening.

Those are two very different requirements.

Room-size calculations are useful. But they’re only part of the picture.

The right stove needs to suit the room, the property, the existing heating and, importantly, how you actually intend to use it.

Because choosing the right stove isn’t about having the most kilowatts.

It’s about having the right stove for the job you want it to do.

MYTH #2 — BUSTED.

I’M NOT VERY GOOD AT STANDING ON THE SIDELINES.

When you invite CleanBurn into your home, the person who comes out to survey your job doesn’t simply disappear once you’ve said yes.

I’m involved from the first conversation through to the installation itself.

And I mean involved.

Sometimes that’s surveying and planning.

Sometimes it’s cutting through walls.

And sometimes it’s being several metres up a ladder working on a twin wall chimney system.

For me, that’s how it should be.

CleanBurn is my business. Customers are trusting us with their homes, and I think that comes with a responsibility to be personally involved in the work we put our name to.

I’m certainly not afraid of getting my hands dirty.

IT’S JUST A METAL BOX… RIGHT?

Well, not quite.

It’s easy to look at a wood burning stove and think there’s not much to it. A metal box, some logs and a chimney.

But there’s actually quite a lot going on inside.

The way a stove controls airflow, how the firebox is designed, the position of the baffle, the glass and seals – they all affect how the stove burns.

And then there’s the chimney. Get the stove right but the installation wrong, and you can still end up with poor performance or a fire that’s difficult to control.

That’s why choosing the right stove and having it properly installed makes such a difference.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be looking at some of the common myths and misconceptions we come across as a HETAS registered installer.

Some might surprise you.

"I'd love a wood burning stove, but I don't have a chimney..."

It's a conversation we have almost every week.

Many people assume a wood burning stove is only an option if you live in an older property with a traditional chimney. The reality is very different.

Modern twin wall chimney systems allow us to install beautiful wood burning stoves in homes without a traditional chimney. In many cases, they're the perfect solution for creating a stunning focal point in your living space.

Whether it's a new build, an extension or a property with an unused chimney, a twin wall system can often make the difference between, "It'll never work here," and, "Why didn't we do this sooner?"

At CleanBurn, we specialise in free-standing wood burning stoves and external twin wall chimney systems, helping homeowners across Central Scotland bring warmth, character and style into their homes.

No chimney? It may not be the obstacle you think it is.

✨ Beautifully done.

Some installations don't need to shout to make an impression. Traditional styling, elegant proportions and a finish that looks as though it has always belonged in the room.

The Oxford Classic W5 is a perfect example of why classic designs never go out of fashion. Combining timeless looks with modern performance, it's easy to see why this stove continues to appeal to homeowners looking to bring warmth and character into their homes.

Creating an installation like this isn't just about choosing the right stove. Careful planning, attention to detail and quality workmanship all play an important part in achieving the finished result.

At CleanBurn, we create spaces like this across Central Scotland, helping homeowners bring warmth, character and a real focal point into their homes.

If you've been thinking about a wood burning stove, maybe now is the time.

Meet the Owner

I've always believed that if a job is worth doing, it's worth doing properly.

That approach has followed me throughout my life and is the foundation of everything we do at CleanBurn.

As a HETAS registered installer and chimney sweep, I take great pride in helping homeowners create warm, welcoming spaces with beautiful wood burning stoves, twin wall chimney systems, bespoke hearths and feature walls.

For me, it's never just about fitting a stove. It's about understanding what a customer wants, paying attention to the finer details and delivering an installation that they'll be proud of every time they walk into the room.

I remain involved from the initial survey right through to completion because I believe a personal service still matters.

At CleanBurn, our aim is simple: exceptional workmanship, complete professionalism and installations that stand the test of time.

If you're thinking about installing a wood-burning stove, I'd be delighted to help you find the right solution for your home.

šŸ”„ Perhaps it's your turn.
