A Multifuel Stove Installation Journey in Llandarcy, Neath
In the vibrant Neath Port Talbot county borough, our latest installation took root near Llandarcy, a village steeped in history as the location of the UK’s inaugural oil refinery.
Surrounded by the picturesque settings of Skewen and Jersey Marine, and a mere stone’s throw from the M4 motorway, Llandarcy’s blend of garden village heritage and industrial past provided a distinctive canvas for our expert Neath Port Talbot stove installers.

5KW Arada Hamlet Solution 5 Multifuel Stove Installation Highlights
Embarking on this project, our team was tasked with the installation of the Arada Hamlet Solution 5, a multifuel stove known for its efficiency and sleek design. This installation was not just about adding a heat source; it was about creating a centrepiece for the home that echoed the rich industrial heritage of Llandarcy while providing modern, efficient heating.
Detailed Installation Journey
Preparing the Hearth
The customer had already taken the initial step of opening up the fireplace, setting the stage for us to square off the recess. Our first challenge was ensuring a perfect fit for the Arada stove, necessitating precision in squaring and boarding the recess with non-combustible concrete board. The fitting of a bespoke slate hearth followed, cut meticulously to complement the stove’s dimensions and the room’s aesthetic.
Flue Liner Installation
A critical component of any stove installation is the flue system. We opted for a 316, 5″ stainless steel flue liner, known for its durability and efficiency. Fitting this liner required us to navigate the existing chimney structure, a task that was approached with careful planning and execution. The installation of a pot hanging cowl completed this step, ensuring a secure and functional flue system.
Stove Connection and Commissioning
The final phase involved connecting the stove and ensuring it met all regulatory requirements. This stage was about precision and expertise, ensuring every connection was secure and every regulation met. The commissioning process was thorough, testing the system to guarantee performance and safety.
Navigating Challenges
The project demanded more than just technical skills; it required an intimate understanding of regulatory standards and the ability to adapt. Fitting the 316, 5″ stainless steel flue liner within the confines of an older chimney was particularly challenging. Our approach was defined by innovation, ensuring compliance with critical safety standards like Building Regulations Part J, which covers the safe installation of combustion appliances.
Client Satisfaction and Warmth Restored
The culmination of this project was not just a fully functioning, efficient multifuel stove but a satisfied client whose vision for their home was realised. The warmth of the Arada Hamlet Solution 5 now fills their space, adding both physical warmth and a visual focal point that complements their home’s character.
