Question 1

Do you supply the stove or just fit it?

Accepted Answer

Either works. We can supply and install or fit a stove you've already bought — we're happy to advise on suitable models if you'd like a recommendation.

Question 2

How much does a stove installation cost in Aberdour?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the appliance, the chimney work involved and access — anything from a straightforward swap-out to a full twin wall system varies considerably. A free on-site survey gives you a fixed quote.

Question 3

Are your prices fixed or estimates?

Accepted Answer

Our quotes are fixed once we've surveyed the property. If something genuinely unexpected appears once we open up the chimney we'll discuss it before we proceed — no after-the-fact surprises.

Question 4

Do I need HETAS registration for a stove install in Aberdour?

Accepted Answer

It's not legally required but it makes life much easier. A HETAS registered installation is self-certified for building regulations — without that, you'd need to arrange separate building control sign-off, adding cost and time.

Question 5

Do you cover the old mining rows in central Fife?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Much of the housing between Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Cardenden and Lochgelly is terraced miners' rows and post-war council stock, built with narrow shared stacks serving several homes. That layout affects both sweeping access and the way a liner has to be dropped, so we survey the stack as a whole rather than treating a single flue in isolation.

Question 6

Can you sweep student and HMO lets in the St Andrews area?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we work to the timetable letting agents actually use, which usually means sweeping in the summer changeover window rather than in October. Certificates are issued per address so they can be filed against each tenancy.

Question 7

Do you charge extra for a village call-out?

Accepted Answer

No call-out fee. We group village visits so several nearby properties are done on the same run, which keeps the price the same as a town job.

Question 8

Do you provide certificates that letting agents accept?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every sweep produces a certificate showing the address, the appliance, the work carried out and the condition of the flue. Agents and insurers file these directly, and we can email copies to both the landlord and the agency.

Question 9

Is a wood burning stove different to a multifuel one for this work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wood burns best on a bed of ash with air from above, so wood-only stoves have no grate. Multifuel models have a riddling grate and take air from below, which matters for smokeless fuels. The flue deposits differ too, which changes how often it should be swept.
