Servicing And Maintenance

The purpose of a log burner service is to revive your fireplace and stove to make it look and work like the day we fitted it. Some basic wood-burning stoves will require little more than a good clean and re-spray with attention to the door rope seals and stove pipe joints. Some of the more complex appliances will need a full annual service; this will include cleaning, inspecting and testing specific design features. The preferred time of year for servicing and maintenance is in the spring and summer to avoid problems when the appliance is needed.

Antique And Restoration

We find this an interesting area of our business. In our early days, we specialized in removing, renovating and refitting antique and reproduction open fireplaces and hearths. In today's world, we think it would be wrong for us to help bring a polluting open fire back to life for another few generations. We now utilize our skills to reuse antique marble, oak, granite, cast iron, and slate fireplace components to help create your bespoke fireplace masterpiece, specifically designed to accept high-efficiency wood-burning - multi-fuel stoves and boilers; putting the heart back into any home in a way that's right for the future and the environment.

Stove Installation

We are log burner installers fitting multi fuel stoves, boilers and cookers. We are the longest running HETAS registered wood burning stove installers and chimney lining fitters in Essex and London. A modern wood burner requires a high standard of installation to cope with the high temperatures created while burning wood logs as efficiently as possible. Not only are our tried and tested stove installation techniques the best around by far, we also ensure that every wood burner customer is fully trained in the art of using their new stove safely and to its full efficiency potential.

Chimney

From rebuilding medieval inglenook stacks to relining Victorian coal flues and modern chimney system projects, understanding the fabric of local properties is fundamental to successfully adding, repairing and restoring safe flue liners for wood burners into every type of property. Browse our products and previous chimney installations using the image filter below. Around 300 years ago with the advent of the mass produced cast iron fireplace, coal became the most popular form of heating. Chimneys were built with smaller flues for smaller fireplaces to serve individual rooms.

We recently bought a stove and had it installed from Scarlett fireplaces, I have to say we were really impressed with not only the service but also the product! We love the emphasis on sustainability and how they educate you on the wood and how to light and work the fire efficiently. It was a very thorough and clean job and the fire has worked well so far - very happy!

Highly recommend Scarlett fireplaces, great service from very knowledgable people. Love our new stone surround and log burner and herringbone hearth. Can’t wait to decorate the rest of the room to show it off more, will post pictures when finished. Thanks again for a great service.

Absolutely amazing service from the guys at Scarlett. So happy with our new log burner, bespoke stone surround and hearth. They’re a lovely, friendly bunch and clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about their trade. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend, from start to finish. We absolutely love our new Garden Cube. Mel was so lovely and extremely knowledgeable about the product. Everyone couldn’t of been anymore helpful when we purchased it. Even the touch of a Teddy for both our children when we went to the showroom, they were totally made up. Cant wait to do toast on the cube come the weekend. Thank you guys for installing it and talking us through every step. The best addition to our garden!! 5 stars for Scarlett Fireplaces

friendly and helpful family company from start to finish. No sales pitch. their skills and knowledge is amazing. if you are looking for an excellent service with professional people and superb craftsmanship, these are the people you want. Recommendation couldn't be any higher.

From start to finish the service was amazing! Neil has been very helpful, even showing me the stoves on his day off, when I could not decide which one to pick. Jason and son did a fantastic job fitting the stove, and explaining the best way of using it. I do not usually leave reviews, but this company deserves the best of them and i honestly could not recommend them more highly. Thankss!

Highly recommended!!! From contacting Scarlett Fireplaces we received a personal service that was tailored to our requests. The whole team were polite and explained the process in detail providing honest and unbiased advice. The installation team went above and beyond with our new wood burning stove and we are very happy with the final outcome. Thank you very much!

Wow. what a fabulous experience dealing with Scarlett Fireplaces. it has been our dream to have an log burner for many years and after doing extensive research we had Mel out to survey a whole new system including essentially creating a whole new chimney system. what can I say these guys live and breath fireplaces, from start to finish they were on another level, I cant think of a time I've experienced service and knowledge like it. We are over the moon with our new log burner and will add photos when the refurbishment of our new home is finished. Thanks again the team at Scarlett's

Still looks as good 9 years on. Scarletts have installed 3 wood-burners over the years, and I wouldn’t use anyone else!

From start to finish the service was outstanding. On visiting the showroom, Neil was very helpful, advising us on stoves and surrounds and arranging our fitting. Jason and team did a fantastic job fitting our stove, ensuring the room was protected from the dust and dirt and leaving everything clean and tidy once finished.
It’s clear that Jason is passionate about his work and his advice on wood types was very helpful.
I would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you Scarlett, we love our new stove!!

With the help of Neal from Scarlett Fireplaces, we have tonight lit our log burner for the first in our new home. Scarlett have been brilliant from the very start when we first chose our log burner to now. The whole team were friendly and nothing was too much effort. And a special thank you to Neal for all the help and advice. Would highly recommend Scarlett Fireplaces, they have been wonderful!

Very professional service .Melanie from Scarlets has a wealth of knowledge about log burners, she visited our home to advise us on which type of log burner would be most energy efficient ( the company had a strong ethic on sustainability which is going.no hard sell.the installation was quick and effecient. Would recommend Scarlets 100 %.We had visited numerous log burning outlets before nothing can match Scarlets on their knowledge and proffesiolsm. Thank you Scarletts

I never normally rate or review companies, but this company was highly recommended to me and I can see why. Jason and the team were amazing! The attention to detail and time spent doing the important things like sheeting up the whole ground floor and furniture before starting, to taking their time explaining everything on handover (even at 9pm), nothing was rushed and the result is quite simply excellent. Thanks Guys.

Excellent service, Careful clean installation, loads of useful advice. Jason is passionate about wood burning, with care for the environment! Highly recommend.

I can't recommend Scarlett highly enough. This company are professional, passionate and knowledgable. We used Jason over twelve years ago and I was grateful to see that they were still going strong when I needed them again to install another log burner. It looks fabulous, thank you!
