Tackling Tricky Multifuel Stove Flue Repair in Picturesque Seven Sisters

Set in the lush Dulais Valley, Seven Sisters is a charming village 10 miles north-east of Neath. Neighbouring villages like Crynant, Onllwyn, Banwen and Coelbren are all just a short drive away through windy country roads and rolling hillsides.

With the colder months fast approaching, a Seven Sisters home owner was eager to restore their multifuel stove to full operation in their semi-detached home, which our engineers at Hopkins Log Burners were more than happy to help.

The existing setup included a Henley Ascot stove rated for 7KW heat output. However, damage to the flue liner was preventing safe, efficient heating. By choosing to replace the liner and connections rather than buying a brand new stove, our clients demonstrated both economy and environmental awareness.
