Detailed Stove Installation Journey
Initial Steps and Safety Measures
The project commenced with meticulous planning and preparation. The installation process entailed opening up the roof to install the liner, fitting the relevant twin wall flue on top, and ensuring the roof was sealed with lead flashing to prevent leaks.
Hearth and Fireplace Customisation
The journey continued with the careful measurement and cutting of a 1500mm slate hearth, alongside adjustments to the wooden flooring to accommodate the slate. The attention to detail extended to plastering around the edges and the face of the fireplace, achieving a polished finish.
Aesthetic Enhancements
The installation was further enhanced with the fitting of an oak beam, adding a touch of rustic charm, and the crafting of aluminium edging trim to elegantly frame the fireplace opening.
Final Touches
With the AGA Ellesmere stove in place, our team conducted thorough testing and checks, installed a carbon monoxide alarm and data plate for safety, and provided the customer with a basic usage tutorial.
Challenges and Solutions
The installation process was not without its challenges, particularly in the precise fitting of the slate hearth and wooden flooring. Our team’s expertise and the use of specialised tools were instrumental in overcoming these hurdles, ensuring a flawless integration of the stove into the client’s home.
Customer Satisfaction and Results
The fruition of this project was a beautifully installed wood burner that not only serves as an efficient heat source but also as an aesthetic centrepiece of the home. The client’s satisfaction was palpable, with their testimonial highlighting the transformative impact of our work:
