Stove Specialists UK review

Best for: supply-and-fit stove packages with free quotes

Stove Specialists UK in short

Stove Specialists UK is an Albrighton-based installer of wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves, offering supply-and-fit packages with flue liners, twin-wall chimney systems, hearths and building work. Telford sits among its named coverage towns with a dedicated page on its site, and every enquiry opens with a free quote and a free survey. The firm will fit a stove you supply or supply one itself.

Fitting is HETAS-stated, with registration held since the company started and certification issued for every installation. Contact runs through a freephone number, local numbers, email and an online enquiry form, Quotes and surveys come free, with finance options behind the bigger packages. No opening hours are published.

Customer evidence is a single strong Google record of 4.8 from 51 reviews, seen in early September. Behind it sits a company record that counts as unknown, with the matching limited company dissolved and the trading-as company under a strike-off proposal. That paper gap is the honest note on a strong review record.

Our view is that this firm suits a buyer who wants one contractor for stove supply, fitting and chimney work with free quotes up front. What counts against it is unpublished insurance and a company record that cannot be traced to a live limited company, which matters more on a multi-day install. Set that against free quotes, free surveys and certification with every install.

Questions about Stove Specialists UK

Where does Stove Specialists UK work?

The firm works from Albrighton and names Telford, Wolverhampton and Birmingham among its coverage towns, with a dedicated Telford page on its site. Most Telford addresses fall inside its patch for surveys and fitting. Send your postcode with details of the room and photos of the fireplace, and ask for a visit slot that covers your street.

Is Stove Specialists UK HETAS registered?

HETAS registration is stated on its own website, held since the company started with certification issued for every installation. The HETAS register itself could not be searched, so membership cannot be sourced from the register. Ask for the registration details alongside your written quote, and keep the certificate with your house file.

What does Stove Specialists UK charge?

Supply-and-fit packages are advertised from fourteen hundred pounds, and quotes and surveys come free. Supply-and-fit packages cover the stove, flue work and labour in one figure. There is no full price list, hourly rate or VAT position published. Send your room details and fireplace photos, then ask for an itemised fixed quote.

How do I get a quote from Stove Specialists UK?

Use the online enquiry form or call the freephone number, saying whether the room has a chimney and whether you already own the stove, and attach fireplace photos. The site offers free quotes and free surveys with finance options behind them. Ask for the survey date and the install dates as one written timetable.

What do Stove Specialists UK reviews say?

The record we hold is Google only: a strong score from fifty-one reviews, the largest single review base among the new firms in this round. It was seen in early September, so the picture is fresh. Read the critical reviews first rather than the average alone, and set them against the written quote and the HETAS paperwork.

How does Stove Specialists UK compare with the others?
