Many customers also like to research their installation themselves, and prefer to purchase a Wood Burning Stove online, modify their own fireplace, and then bring in a HETAS Registered Installer to advise on any modifications, install a liner, closure plate, adaptors, angles, supports and liner top fittings, then to seal, test, certify and register the installation with the Councils Building Control in line with Buildings Regs. Yes, I provide this service as well.
