My husband and I live in a 2 storey timber framed detached house which is normally heated efficiently with a gas combi boiler and radiators.
We decided to install a wood burning stove mainly for the warmth and ambiance of a real fire. After carrying out some online research we called at Stoveco in Guardbridge, Fife, as their reviews seemed the most promising. We liked their range of stoves and accessories on display and the attentive staff who answered all our questions regarding installation. After considering our options we returned and placed our order for a Dean Forge Croft Slimline 5 wood burning stove, with an internal twin wall flue, mounted on a Brazilian honed slate hearth.
A few days later a representative from Stoveco called by arrangement for a house survey and to arrange an installation date.
The following week two fitters arrived about 9am, covered the floors with plastic sheeting and commenced their work. The flue went through the living room ceiling, through the bedroom above, and through the loft to the roof.
The fitters carried out their work in a friendly and efficient manner, and by lunchtime the following day their work was complete. The job was done with very little disruption to our normal routine and they tidied up as they went along. Before leaving, the fitters polished the hearth and checked everything was working correctly, including lighting the fire. They gave us advice on how to operate it and what fuels to use or avoid, in order that we could get the best from it.
All in all we were impressed by the firm's professionalism and their attention to detail.
The stove has been in regular operation since installation with no problems at all and we are delighted with the warmth it brings to the home. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stoveco to anyone who is considering having a stove installed. read more
