Professional Installation of High-Performance Heating Solution in Semi-Detached Property

We really enjoy working in Pontardawe – there’s something special about this part of the Swansea Valley that makes it such a great place to live. The location works brilliantly for families, with neighbouring villages like Clydach and Ystalyfera nearby, plus you’re only a short drive from Neath when you need the bigger shops.

What really makes this area stand out is having the Brecon Beacons practically on your doorstep – perfect for those weekend walks – and Craig y Nos Country Park and the Dan-yr-Ogof caves make for brilliant days out whatever the weather.

Our stove installers Pontardawe team recently completed an excellent multifuel stove project in this lovely location, and it’s always a pleasure working with homeowners in such a well-connected and beautiful area.

Mazona Portway 5KW Stove Features and Specifications

The Mazona Portway represents excellent value in the multifuel stove market, combining robust construction with impressive heating performance. This 5KW unit efficiently heats spaces up to 120 square metres, making it perfect for most family homes. The stove features a large viewing window that provides an excellent view of the flames, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Built with high-quality steel construction, the Portway includes advanced airwash technology that keeps the glass clean for optimal flame visibility. The stove accepts logs up to 330mm in length and offers excellent fuel flexibility, burning both wood and smokeless fuels efficiently. Its compact design fits beautifully into standard fireplace openings whilst delivering maximum heat output.

Professional Multifuel Stove Installation Process

Our experienced engineers began by carefully removing the existing electric fire to prepare the space for the new installation. Safety remained our top priority throughout every stage of this project. The team worked methodically to ensure minimal disruption to the household routine.

The roof work required precise execution to create the proper flue exit point. We opened the roof access and carefully dropped the Mi flexi liner down the existing chimney structure. This process demands considerable skill to avoid any damage to the chimney or surrounding roof materials.

Advanced Flue System Installation and Weatherproofing

Fitting the chest mounting plate provided the secure foundation for the external flue components. Our team installed 1 metre of twin wall flue pipe along with a professional-grade cowl to prevent downdraught and weather ingress. Proper weatherproofing is crucial for long-term performance and building protection.

Sealing the slates around the new flue exit required careful attention to detail. We fitted a storm collar to provide additional weather protection whilst maintaining the roof’s structural integrity. These external works ensure decades of trouble-free operation regardless of Welsh weather conditions.

Internal Connection and Safety Systems

Inside the property, our engineers fitted the adaptor and 45-degree vitreous bend to create the perfect connection angle. This configuration allows for optimal flue draw whilst maintaining safe clearances from combustible materials. Precision matters enormously in these internal connections.

We attached the spigot of the new Mazona Portway stove to the adaptor system before carefully sliding the unit into its final recess position. The final connection between spigot and fire happens from inside the firebox, ensuring a completely secure and airtight seal. This multifuel stove install in Pontardawe, Swansea Valley showcased our team’s technical expertise.

Testing, Safety Certification and Project Completion

Thorough testing and checking of both the fire and flue system confirmed everything operated perfectly. We conducted comprehensive safety checks to ensure optimal performance and complete compliance with current building regulations. Our carbon monoxide alarm installation provides additional safety protection for the household.

Fitting the mandatory data plate completed the certification requirements for this installation. We always clean up thoroughly after completing any project, leaving the workspace spotless and ready for immediate enjoyment. The homeowners could light their new stove the same evening we finished the work..
