Case Study: A Multifuel Masterpiece in Ystradgynlais

In the heart of Southwest Powys, nestled by the serene River Tawe, lies Ystradgynlais, the second-largest town in Powys and a jewel in the historic county of Brecknockshire. Surrounded by the charming communities of Cwmtwrch, Abercraf, and Cwmgiedd, Ystradgynlais boasts a rich heritage and a vibrant community spirit.

It was here, in a terraced house, that our Hopkins Log Burners Swansea Valley team embarked on a transformative journey. Our mission was to install a multifuel stove, blending tradition with modern functionality.

Stove Buddy Classic 5 Multifuel Stove Highlights

Embarking on this project, we faced the challenge of reviving a fireplace to its former glory while installing the Stove Buddy Classic 5, a quintessential model known for its efficiency and aesthetic appeal. The task involved meticulous planning and precision, ensuring every step from opening the fireplace to installing the Superflex 5″ liner was executed flawlessly.

Installation Journey: Overcoming Challenges

The property’s existing fireplace presented a unique set of challenges, primarily due to its diminished state and the poor quality of stonework. Our strategy involved carefully opening up the fireplace to its original size, a process requiring both delicacy and strength.

To ensure a seamless and secure installation, we boarded the sides and laid a slate hearth over the old tiles, enhancing the fireplace’s durability and aesthetic appeal. Dropping the liner down the open chimney and fitting a pot-hanging cowl were critical steps, made successful through our team’s expertise and attention to detail.

Customer Centric Solutions: Ensuring Satisfaction

Our commitment to the client’s vision was unwavering throughout the project. Fitting an adaptor on the liner, cutting and fitting the registry board, and installing a CO alarm and data plate were significant steps. We not only prioritised safety but also enhanced the stove’s efficiency. The demonstration of basic fire usage to the customer marked the culmination of a project rooted in transparency, education, and empowerment.
