We were asked to replace tiles that were broken beneath the customers stove.
Upon looking at the installation before work commenced, we found seven faults, of which several were dangerous.
1. Timber too close to the flue.
2. Flue liner upside down.
3. Incorrect termination of the liner, in conjunction with being too far in to the cowl.
4. Chimney not swept prior to the liner being installed.
5. No CO Detector.
6. Closure plate not sealed correctly.
7. No flue data plate.
This was carried out by a local builder, and although not required in Scotland he was not HETAS registered.
With us being HETAS registered, our customers have a guarantee….
1. Fully trained and competent in the work we carry out.
2. Fully insured.
3. Subjected to having inspections by our local HETAS Inspector.
We have removed old hearth, removed all combustible materials, removed old flue liner, which has corroded through with pin prick holes due to it being fitted upside down, had our friends at Speyside Stoves to sweep the lum, installed new flue liner, installed new cowl, laid new hearth, fitted CO Detector, fitted DATA plate, refitted the stove and carried out all safety checks and issued certification.
The customer has said that in 4 years the stove has never worked so well.
