A local perspective on pre-winter stove service

Salt air and gusty conditions on the Boarhills coast make cowl choice particularly important. We typically recommend a stainless steel anti-downdraught cowl in exposed positions, and we'll always specify materials that hold up against marine corrosion.

A regular service catches the small things — worn rope seals, glass clips on their last legs, a baffle plate that's started to warp — before they become expensive problems mid-winter.

Rural properties around Boarhills often rely on solid fuel as their primary or supplementary heat source, making annual chimney maintenance vital

Boarhills is covered as part of our wider St Andrews round, alongside neighbouring Fife areas.
