Stove Installations
Stove Installation in London, Hertfordshire & Essex
We sweep around 4,000 chimneys a year. That means we see the results of thousands of stove installations: what's been done well, what's been bodged, and what's causing problems years after it was fitted. When we install a stove, we know exactly what good looks like because we spend every working day seeing what happens when it's not done properly.

Every installation starts with a free survey and detailed quote, uses Schiedel products as standard, and comes with the ongoing support of a dedicated chimney sweep team. We don't just fit the stove and leave. We'll service and sweep it for you year after year.
How a SweepSmart Stove Installation Works
Free Survey & Quote
Every installation starts with a thorough on-site survey. We'll discuss your requirements, advise on the recommended kW output for your room, and walk you through exactly how the installation will work. You'll receive a detailed quote and a tailored list of recommended stoves.
Chimney Inspection
Before any stove goes in, the chimney needs sweeping and inspecting. We check for structural issues, obstructions, and combustible material, and confirm the flue dimensions are right for the new liner. If you haven't had this done, we carry out a Pre-Installation Inspection as part of the process.
Stove Supply
We can supply the stove as part of the installation. We work with a range of distributors and offer impartial advice across a wide selection of manufacturers. Your recommended list will be tailored to your setup. We're equally happy to install a stove you've already purchased.
Materials & Products
For all our installations, we use Schiedel products — recognised as the best on the market. We won't use cheaper alternatives. All chimney lining comes with a lifetime guarantee.
If your home doesn't have a chimney, we can install a twin wall flue system using Schiedel Eco ICID, regarded as the best chimnet system available, with the added advantage of being abailable in a colour of your choice.
