How much will it cost?
The costs vary considerably from job to job, although the average installation comes in at around £3,000.
The following will give you a very rough guide to the breakdown of likely costs.
We recommend that you visit the shop to view the stoves, find out more about what might be involved and get a feel for which stoves you like best.
If you wish to take things further, we can then arrange for one of the installers to visit your home and provide a written estimate.
