The official body recognised by the Government to approve your installation is the heating equipment testing and approval scheme.Once we have performed your installation in accordance with Government building regulations, we are able to self certify it.
If you were to perform the installation yourself, you would have to contact your local building control and get them to certify your installation, which is a complicated process, involves other parties, and is time consuming and expensive.

The appliance and flue liner will have warranties.Depending on the stove, the warranty will vary.The flexible liner can be used for 15 or 30 years.For 10 years, the twin wall rigid flue will be needed.
The stove and liner have to be installed according to the conditions of the warranty.The other conditions are your responsibility after the install.Having your stove serviced once a year is one of the things they typically include.
The body of the stove is usually covered by the warranty.The removal or re-fitting of the existing liner is not covered by the liner warranty.

Upon completion of your installation, a notice plate is provided.It provides information essential to the correct application and use of the facilities we have installed and is a requirement by law that it should be permanently posted in the building.
If you have a wood or multi-fuel stove that outputs more than 5Kw, then you will need additional ventilation.This is a government policy.This will allow for efficient burning and will protect people from the harmful effects of burning.
The amount of air supply depends on the output of your stove.The Lookryt vent is the best type of additional Ventilation we like to install.
A gas called Carbon Monoxide is released in the process of burning.This gas is harmful to your health.The amount of CO released in this process is not harmful.The efficiency of your stove and system should not be compromised if your log burner and chimney system are serviced yearly.An additional precautionary measure must be taken which is a CO alarm.Blazing Burners will fit a CO alarm according to British Standards.
To make sure your CO alarm works correctly, it's a good idea to have it tested weekly.You will be notified in the unlikely event of excessive CO leaking.Symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, blurred vision and loss of consciousness.
