  1. Avoid Stove-Related Fires In Your House With 5 Easy Tips Though you don’t need any specific safety certificate before installing a stove in your house, the stove installers you have hired should be certified and trained. The chances of stove- related fires increase if it has not been installed properly. Creosote present inside the chimney can also cause a fire so cleaning it at fixed intervals is a must. You can also avoid stove-related fires by following the tips stated in the slides that follow. Use Flue Finer It is the responsibility of the installer to use a flexible flue liner which will act as a chimney within the chimney. Vermiculite can be used to backfill the flue as the material has excellent heat insulation properties. Keep Combustible Materials Away Even if you think that a timber structure will look good near the fireplace, it is advisable to keep combustible materials away. Combustible materials can ignite, burn, support combustion, release flammable vapours and lead to chimney fires.

  2. Hire The Right Fitter If you want to have complete peace of mind, make sure that the stove installers in Surrey you have hired are HETAS trained. Check the credentials of the professional before hiring and ensure that he has prior experience in installing similar types of stoves. Check The Electrical System Avoid installing the stove below electrical appliances as the chimney can overheat the appliance and catch fire. You can also ask your stove installers how the electrical wirings and other wirings in your house can be protected. Install A Carbon Monoxide Monitor Keeping a carbon monoxide monitor in the same room where the chimney has been installed is one of the building regulations you need to follow. Look for standard monitors with the CE mark.
