Welcome

When it comes to having a chimney, flue-pipe or log burner installed, a competitive price is desirable - but safety is essential.

Our site is designed to provide you with the correct information to help make an informed choice before purchasing and installing a chimney.

Who are we?

We are a family business that has manufactured chimney in the UK for over 50 years.

Why don’t we sell direct on the internet?

For one very good reason:

The installation of our products must be carried out by a competent person like a HETAS installer for them to work properly and for us to warranty the product.

This is not just the thoughts of Chimneyfit but also UK building regulations.

Failing to ensure the correct installation of a chimney and wood burning stove could negate your property insurance it is always wise to check with your insurer first.

England and Wales has a well-established wood burning stove industry that is governed and trained by the Governments chosen body HETAS.

This is similar to what was Corgi (now Gas Safe) for the gas industry. Here at Chimneyfit we can connect you the consumer direct with your local HETAS approved installer. Ensuring you get a competitive but essentially compliant and safe installation.

Give us a call, or use our contact form, and after discussing your needs In detail, we will provide you with a firm estimate for installing - and where appropriate, supplying the chimney products you need.
