To ensure that your business can effectively progress through the transition process, installers should submit their application to their certification body before Christmas.

We offer MCS installer certification for biomass and solar thermal technologies. To find out more information, visit the HETAS website 👇🔗

From Sunday 1 November 2026, the whole of York will become a smoke control area.

This change will only affect the roughly 20% of households in York that sit outside current SCAs, and it brings the entire city under the same rules.

The council has explicitly said that this is not a ban on wood burning. Smoke control areas exist to ensure only modern, exempt appliances can be used to burn wood. This helps reduce smoke and air pollution, while also helping stove owners get more heat from their fuel.

Read our full explanation of the new rules 👇🔗

The whole of York becomes a smoke control area on 1 November 2026, expanding from the current 80% of coverage.

Defra has released its annual analysis into air pollution in the UK 📉

✅ 43 of 43 UK zones were within the PM2.5 limit in 2025
✅ The UK has been compliant with the PM2.5 limit value since 2008

The UK also remains inside its 2020 national exposure reduction target, reflecting years of progress across various sectors, including the solid fuel industry.

However, it is important to note that Defra hasn’t identified a level of PM2.5 below which health effects stop, so continued reduction is vital.

Read our full breakdown of the assessment 👇🔗

All 43 UK zones met the PM2.5 limit in 2025, but we can further reduce emissions from wood burning with 5 steps.

This incident in West Mersea shows how quickly hot ash can start a fire if it’s put in the wrong container.

Always let ash cool completely in the stove with the door closed. Then collect it in a metal container with a lid and dispose of it outside in a designated area. Never leave ash sitting in a container inside your home.

We have a full guide to disposing of stove ash safely on our website.

How do you dispose of the embers when you put out your log burner?

Crews were called to this house in West Mersea today after neighbours saw smoke.

Embers from a log burner had been put in a wooden container and started a fire.

Crews extinguished the fire and cleared the smoke, which had filled the property.

Watch Manager Dave Farrant said: "When you put out your log burner, make sure embers are completely cool and put them in a fireproof container.

"We'd like to praise neighbours for calling 999 as the occupants were out when the fire started."
