How a Free Home Survey Works and What You Can Expect

A free home survey is the first step in making sure your stove installation is safe, efficient, and tailored to your home. It’s a quick visit, but it tells us everything we need to know before we start planning the work.

When we arrive, we start by taking a look at your current fireplace or the space where you want your stove. We check the structure, the chimney, and the ventilation to make sure everything meets safety standards. If you don’t have a chimney, we look at the best way to install a flue system instead.

We also talk through what type of stove suits your home and lifestyle. Some people want the classic feel of a log burner. Others prefer a multi-fuel or gas stove. We explain the options in simple terms, including heat output, maintenance, running costs, and style.

Before we leave, we take measurements and photos so we can put together a clear quote. There’s no pressure. It’s simply about giving you all the info you need with zero guesswork. A home survey saves time, cuts costs, and ensures everything is installed safely the first time around.
