WHY SUSSEX WOODSTOVES? WHY SUSSEX WOODSTOVES?

We sell stoves at keen prices - many are British-designed and British-made and others are sourced from abroad. We try to sell stoves that are robust, so that we rarely sell spares. Mostly stoves are relatively cheap to fit, but fitting prices can vary greatly. You really do need to shop-around, and some fitting companies will only fit a stove from another supplier if they also supply and fit a liner. We are not fitting stoves at present, due to an injury and my advancing age! Your chimney may not necessarily need flexi-lining if it proves Sound within the scope of Building Regulations, but many customers prefer a liner anyway. If your chimney does need a liner, then you should use a fitter from the HETAS.co.uk website. or we may possibly sell you a liner kit and comment on how you how to get it legally signed-off by the Building Control Officer - remember that in your area, the Building Control Officer (BCO) may only accept HETAS engineer sign-offs, so check before you commit yourself to DIY or to a general builder or plumber. We must have sold a lot of stoves, and fitted many of them in the past, so we do know the jobs as well as the stoves. As I get older they seem to get heavier!

We are a small home-based business, mostly serving local customers in Sussex & Surrey, and preferring not to stray too far from home. We strive for quality and value. Prices for each manufacturer are available with a "click" at the bottom of each page. We do not sell through the internet, but offer this website to encourage you to come to see the stoves, but take these prices as indicative as they may change.

We may agree to send stoves across the UK at cost plus handling, but this is always expensive for the Mainland, much more expensive for the Highlands, Islands and NI, and truly extortionate for export. If you prefer a cheap internet purchase, there are many suppliers out there selling stoves far more cheaply than we can.

If you come to collect a stove, then the prices at the workshop apply and may be out of step with the website. We accept cash & cheques only, and card transactions are not possible. We try to be helpful, but we neither recommend any particular stove models or manufacturers, nor do we recommend specific fitters and services suppliers. We are here to sell stoves, and we sell what we sell. When time and energy permits, we possibly to fit some of them. There are lots of good stove fitters out there but you should choose your own and verify their credentials. We are HETAS installers too, but no-matter where you live in the UK, there's a HETAS fitter not too far away! Several in our area are freelance HETAS fitters.

Free-standing, room-heaters burning properly stored dry logs or solid-fuels, can provide efficient, economical space heating with minimised pollution. These stoves are mostly British designed, some cast abroad and the others British-made - we have nice stoves from Scandinavia and from the Czech Republic. I have personally used stoves from most of these manufacturers - there have been models that have not met standards, so we do not sell them any more. On durability, reliability, cost and quality, the stoves that we sell are considered by many to be excellent value-for-money compared with many Scandinavian, American, Canadian, New Zealand and other UK stoves, with simple, reliable, low maintenance designs, efficiency features and simple controls.

Most of the new stoves use "Airwash" systems to provide an air-curtain across the glass that discourages smoke from condensing there - the internal fire-bricks and baffles improve efficiency and stoves with larger windows offer a really good view of the fire. Everything that we sell complies with EC and UK regulations relating to fuel efficiency and chimney emissions when used with specified fuels. Good, dry fuel quality is important to protect your stove and your chimney.

You will soon hear your own fire crackling, see the warming glow, enjoy the natural heating. Just imagine - crisped toast, crumpets and marshmallows are scrumptious feasts. Chestnuts on the top are a moist treat. Slow-cook casseroles and hot drinks are possible and I can even tell you how to do toasted sandwiches! The sight, sound, warmth and economy of stoves are all tremendously attractive. Rated outputs are from laboratory tests for the EN13240 standard.

The stove doors have pyro-ceramic glass windows with "Airwash" vents. Internal baffles and firebricks achieve higher efficiency by retaining hot fumes within the stove for longer. To spend more is an extravagance. To spend less on recycled scrap stoves is a false economy. Spend what you really need to, on something that you like at Sussex Woodstoves.

Most customers just 'Cash-&-Carry' stoves away - if you exchange emails first, please note that all communications are assumed to be within our Terms & Conditions - for your protection as well as for ours. Most stoves and the gloss-black flues are in stock. I work on most days, despite my advancing years - but it's worth an 8:00am phone-call on Open-days just in case I am not here. Remember, open-days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 10-12 and 2-5.

We will only, and now occasionally, fit stoves that we supply. We encourage you to only use HETAS fitters. We only sign-off stoves that we have fitted though if you ask for our comments to assist a BCO sign-off, we might comment informally - however, do not expect us to praise a faulty installation. If you consider employing any Other Supplier for fitting services, please confirm their qualifications and credentials before doing so, remembering that you might need bricklayers, plasterers, gas fitter and specialist plumbers. We do not "recommend" fitters or suppliers. If more than one discipline e.g. gas, oil, solid fuel. is involved in your plans, then be sure that you know how each of these elements will be signed-off, and paid for, before you contract out the work, and make sure that the BCO knows too.

Having been in business in this area since 1986, we know that there are local firms that specialise in Isokern chimneys, twinwall chimneys, general plumbing work, or building work. but the responsibility must always be yours to ensure that anyone you employ is the right person for the job. The HETAS lists are your best guide even to local firms…Non-HETAS installers may still be used and you may DIY if you wish, but please note that in these circumstances before you start any work on a fireplace, chimney or stove, you must submit sketches and notes to your local BCO. HETAS fitters may only sign-off works that comply with Building Regulations - any relaxations to regulations are the sole province of the BCO.
