The Dundee angle on stove installation and hetas certification
Dundee is Scotland's fourth-largest city and the heart of Tayside, with a housing stock dominated by Victorian sandstone tenements, post-war estates and waterfront new-builds — each presenting different chimney and flue requirements.
Demand for wood burning stove installation in Dundee has risen sharply since 2022 as homeowners look to reduce reliance on gas. We carry out the majority of installations in the West End, Broughty Ferry, Stobswell, Lochee and the Ferry Road corridor.
Many traditional Dundee tenements have unlined chimneys originally built for coal — these almost always require a flexible stainless steel liner before a modern stove can be safely installed and certified to current Building Standards.
Coastal exposure along the Tay estuary means properties in Broughty Ferry, Monifieth and the waterfront need anti-downdraught cowls and stainless steel terminals that can withstand salt-laden winds.
Alba Chimney & Stove Services is HETAS registered for installation and NVQ qualified for sweeping. Every job in Dundee is finished with a HETAS or sweeping certificate so you have full documentation for insurance and Building Standards.
We cover Dundee itself plus the surrounding Dundee villages and outlying properties.
We regularly work on Victorian sandstone tenements, Georgian townhouses, modern waterfront flats, post-war semi-detached, new-build estates, converted jute mills in the Dundee area.
