Our Wood Burning Stove Installation Process
1. Site Survey at Your Worthing Property
Every installation begins with a detailed site survey. We assess:
Chimney condition and height
Flue requirements
Ventilation and air supply
Fireplace opening dimensions
Correct stove heat output for your room size
Many homes in Worthing — particularly older coastal properties — benefit from chimney lining upgrades to improve draw and efficiency.
2. Chimney Liner & Flue Installation
For most existing chimneys in Worthing, we install flexible stainless steel chimney liners to ensure safe smoke extraction and improved performance.
If your property does not have a traditional chimney, we install twin wall insulated flue systems, allowing you to enjoy a wood burning stove even in modern homes or extensions.
All systems are installed safely, cleanly and with minimal disruption.
3. Stove Installation & Commissioning
Once the flue system is in place, we:
- Install or upgrade the hearth if required
Fit and secure the stove
Connect to the flue system
Seal and test the system
Commission the appliance
Issue HETAS certification
You receive full documentation for insurance and compliance purposes.

Recent Wood Burning Stove Installation in Worthing
We recently completed a wood burning stove installation for a 1970s semi-detached property in Worthing. The homeowner wanted to replace an unused open fireplace with an efficient heating solution that would reduce reliance on central heating during winter.
After carrying out a full chimney camera inspection, we recommended installing a flexible stainless steel chimney liner to improve draw and ensure compliance. We fitted a DEFRA-approved stove suitable for the room size and installed a new slate hearth to modernise the fireplace opening.
The result was a clean, contemporary focal point that provides reliable heat output and improved energy efficiency.
