Testimonials

Andy was very helpful during the quote visit in giving ideas on stoves to choose and what size to make the fireplace etc. 
Unlike some others who quoted, he seemed happy to take the time to listen
to my questions.  We found it beneficial to have the fireplace work done separately (by Andy) before the installation as it meant we knew what size stove to buy to fit the space.  I wasn't quite prepared for the amount of soot that emerged during the installation - I should've put more dust sheets down as it gets everywhere.  Andy
and Tim (?) did clean up after themselves but soot really did get everywhere.  They were great at dealing with my curious 2 year old which made things a lot easier. 
It took us a few weeks to get the plaster repaired from enlarging the
fireplace but now it is looking great. 
It's too warm to use the stove just yet but looking forward to that.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend  Andy.

Andy
provided a high quality installation and the service provided was punctual,
professional and courteous from beginning to end. 
I would recommend Andy to anyone who is thinking of having work carried out as his “can do” approach was a welcome breath of fresh air.

Jeff - Wamley

A professional and friendly service from start to finish. Andy took time
to  explain the process up front and answered our questions fully. Work
progressed  efficiently in the timescales agreed. Andy offers a complete
service: as well as  stove installation, he knocked out our old fire-place
cleanly; put us in touch  with a very good plasterer; sorted the scaffolding;
fitted a shelf above the  fire; rendered the chimney walls and also installed a
granite hearth which he  ordered and delivered to us. Andy and Tim kept us
informed of progress  throughout their work.  They were both respectful of
our property and tidied up  after themselves very diligently. Andy also spent
time advising us on first use  of the stove. We are delighted with the finished
fireplace. Thank you again

Helen - Saltford


Andy,

As you know you were recommended to me by a friend that had previously experienced your work first hand, but I also just wanted to write and express my thanks for the open and honest approach you gave me concerning all the suitable options in converting to a wood stove from a gas fire (without a conventional chimney). 
You were exceptionally patient in answering all my questions and queries
prior to me accepting your quotation. 
Despite installation day being one of the hottest days of this year; you
and Tim worked tirelessly, efficiently and cleanly and it was a real pleasure to
have you both in my home as you undertook the necessary refurbishment,
installation and first use stove instruction.  
 
It was also good to find a couple of kindred spirits that have an eye for detail and high standards; thank you for providing me with a focal point in the living room and a superb addition to my property. (This is the first time in years that I am looking forward to
winter!)

Andy has installed two stoves for us in our two successive houses, and both times has provided a first- class, friendly service. He listened well to our requests, advised accordingly and has done a fantastic job, both with the fitting and servicing of our stoves. He is tidy and reliable and always nice to have around. Highly recommended

Chris & Lisa - Stapleton  

"Andy was absolutely brilliant, he made the whole process really easy, was thorough with his costings from the start, and ensured that he only did what was absolutely necessary to completely reinstate our old Victorian fire place and chimney. He fitted a beautiful stove and surround and all at fantastic value. For anyone looking for a stove installer that knows his stuff we would 100% recommend Andy. We are absolutely delighted with the quality of the workmanship and service we received"

Alex & Damien


We couldn't have asked for more from Andy when he installed our wood stove. He kept us informed at every step of the process, was very easy to get on with, was scrupulously clean, and the end result was exactly what we had hoped for....we would recommend him to anyone wanting a stove installed.

Rob and Maggie


Andy was absolutely fantastic at installing our wood burner, fireplace surround, hearth and more. He was always on time, offered expert advice, was extremely tidy and professional and was generally a joy to have around!

Sadie & Fraser   

Invoice all payed. Just wanted to say a big thank you again, we are very pleased with the stove and what better weather to try it out with
Top class service and would definitely recommend you.

Steve & Tracey

From contacting Andy all the way through the process the experience has been professional, friendly and and well explained.
The first visit to discuss what we wanted was a real help as Andy’s knowledge and experience gave us the information we needed to make decisions on what log burner we wanted and how we could set it up in the room.
The next was to come and remove the old electric fire (which we managed to sell, bonus!) and prep and measure the chimney.
Finally the big day when the burner, supplied by Andy at a very competitive rate, the flue, hearth, beam and inner panels were all fitted and we are delighted with the result.

Thanks Andy. Great job all round.

Phil & Karen

Thanks Andy! From start to finish, the whole process has been superb. Friendly, efficient and professional. We really appreciated how you took the time to explain the work that would be needed, guiding us towards suitable stoves whilst ensuring the end installation would be safe and functional. Not only does the stove look superb, but the oak lintel installation looks beautiful too. For probably the first time ever, we’re looking forward to a cold and rainy weekend - so we can light the stove and open a bottle of red!

Adam & Chantelle 

Andy did a great job on installing our wood burning stove and flue. It is obvious that he knows his stuff from the first time you speak to him…and the finished article confirms it. We had quotes from other installers, but Andy was the obvious choice as we knew he would have a thorough approach and some good advice. 
Highly recommended!

Garri & Julie

Thank you for the works you have completed for us.  We are very pleased with the Installation of the Stove. We will take a few pictures and  will send them to you for your website if you would like some. We were very happy with the knowledge and professionalism of Andy who talked us through the process of installation from start to finish. We would recommend Andy to anybody else who would like to have a Stove Installed in the future. 

Gary & Jane

Andy recently installed two stove inserts for us with a specification of replacing the existing open fires, whilst maintaining the original Victorian design. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Andy, the work was carried out to a high standard and Andy was really friendly and professional. His quote was very competitive and he was able to use his previous expertise to adapt the existing hood and provide an excellent finish. Looking forward to winter evenings in front of our new fire! 

Becky & Roger

'My parents recommended we speak to Andy when we came to install a new stove, and I'm glad they did. Throughout the process Andy was friendly, professional, and always replied promptly to any queries we had. Most importantly the finished installation looks great and is testament to Andy's attention to detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending you give him a call if you're thinking of installing a new stove.'

Peter & Jess

We are over the moon with our new stove installation and false chimney construction by Andy! Professional, polite and tidy throughout, we would absolutely recommend. After receiving several quotes it was clear that Andy was able to best accommodate our needs and appeared the most knowledgeable and confident in carrying out the work. When the shop that we bought our stove in also confirmed we had made a good choice in Andy we were pretty confident we’d chosen well! Thank you Andy for a fantastic job!

Tim & Stacy 

Dear Andy,
 
Thank you for fitting our lovely new fireplace. We are so pleased with the installation and also the advice and customer support you have given us. You left no stone unturned and really went the extra mile to make sure that the fireplace was installed to perfect.
 
Kind regards,

Hi Andy
We just wanted to let you know how utterly thrilled we are with the stove you installed for us. We were really impressed by every aspect of your work: dates and times set by you were kept to precisely and the work was completed to the highest standard. The whole process was completely straightforward and easy for us.
Thank you so much
Best wishes

Few words below. 

Andy has been excellent throughout the fitting of our Solid Fuel Stove. He advised us both in the choosing of the stove and how to maximise the heat from the way it’s installed. Very quick installation with no mess and with clear instructions on how to look after the stove. Most importantly he was  a good bloke. Great job all round. 

Bill

Hello Andy,
I would like to let you know how pleased I am with the stove you installed for me. It is already in full use and just in time for this cold spell.
I was impressed with the way you work as all I had to do was choose the stove and you organised everything else. You came on the arranged date, were punctual and explained everything to me clearly. It made it less of an upheaval than I had anticipated.
I hope to see you again when the stove needs servicing.
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,

Reineke

We couldn’t be happier with our new stove and the service received from Andy who went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. Andy’s knowledge is second to none and we were talked through everything step by step. Minimal disruption when being installed and the area was left very clean and tidy. Great communication throughout. Extremely happy, would definitely use Andy again and recommend to friends and family. 

Hannah 

Just to say that I have paid your invoice today. 
Many thanks, we have been very impressed by your service. Your communication, clarity of information, timeliness and professionalism has helped enormously with the process. 
We spent a happy hour with a bottle of bubbly in front of the fire last night!
Thank you again
Best Wishes

Andy came up with a unique solution to allow us to bring our existing wood burner back into operation after it had lain dormant and unused for a few years. He re-modelled our fireplace to create additional airflow and fitted a new chimney flue to allow efficient extraction of smoke & fumes. This work involved cutting into decorative stonework, and although this created significant dust and rubble, he cleared up as he went along taking great care to protect the décor and flooring. Whilst repointing the surrounding fireplace he managed to blend it in with the existing mortar so that there was no obvious sign that there had been a significant alteration to the previous layout.
Throughout the whole process he demonstrated honesty & integrity and worked meticulously & diligently addressing our concerns with patience & understanding. He was punctual and the work was carried out within the agreed timescale. He also stayed in communication to ensure the HETA Certificate and flue warranty were registered post-installation.
We highly recommend Andy when considering any stove and fireplace design & installation.
