A wood burning or multi-fuel stove is one of the best additions to a home — warmth, lower heating bills and a real focal point — but only when it is installed correctly and safely. We connect homeowners across Market Harborough, Kibworth, Lutterworth and the Welland valley with an insured local installer who fits stoves to the proper standard and certifies the work.
Enquiries go to a selected local installer who surveys the chimney and room, recommends the right stove and flue, and gives you a clear written quote. We are not a national chain — you deal with a local installer who holds the relevant registrations.
Why proper installation matters
A stove installation is not just placing an appliance — it involves the flue, the hearth, ventilation and clearances to combustibles, all of which affect safety. A registered installer sizes the stove to the room, lines or fits the flue correctly, and certifies the work to Building Regulations. Getting this right is what keeps a stove safe, efficient and properly insured.

Local knowledge
Market Harborough and the surrounding Welland-valley villages have many period homes with existing chimneys, as well as newer properties with no chimney at all. The right approach — lining an existing flue, or fitting a twin-wall system — depends on the property, which is why the installer surveys before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
How much does stove installation cost in Market Harborough?
A typical supply-and-install with a flue liner runs from around £1,800 to £3,500 depending on the stove, the chimney work and any hearth or fireplace changes. A survey is the only way to price it accurately.
Do I need my chimney lined?
Most stove installations into an existing chimney need a flexible flue liner for safety and efficiency, and where there is no chimney a twin-wall flue system is fitted. The installer confirms what your property needs at survey.
Does the installation need to be certified?
Yes. A stove installation must meet Building Regulations and be certified — a registered installer self-certifies the work and provides the paperwork, so you have proof it was done correctly and safely.
Can I burn wood in my area?
In many areas yes, but some places have smoke control rules that require a DEFRA-exempt stove and approved fuel. The installer will advise on what applies to your address.
