This installation was in Roundway, Coldean, Brighton, on the edge of the downs.

The FDC 5iW was chosen for its appearance, efficiency (80%) and output (5kW).

All the FDC inset stoves are Defra approved which means much less smoke out the chimney and a more pleasing appearance when in use.

An existing fireplace was removed. The logstore recess was cutout and lintels were put in to take the weight of the stove. Sean Wilson the Brighton Chimney Sweep swept and pressure tested the flue. Due to the age of the property (1930s) and light previous use the chimney passed the pressure test and a traditional liner less installation was possible.

Shaun Jenkins plastered and rendered inside the logstore recess. The customer commissioned a 12mm thick steel hearth and the installation took two days.

Supply and fit the entire project came it at £1632 inclusive of burner and labour.
