Wood-burning stove installed in a living room with exposed brick

Our HETAS-registered engineers will help you choose the right appliance for your room size and heating needs. We take care of the full installation — from constructing the hearth and preparing the fireplace chamber, through to connecting the flue and commissioning the stove. You'll receive a compliance certificate and a full handover walkthrough.

Stainless steel flexible chimney liner being installed

Over time, older chimneys can deteriorate, crack, or become blocked — making them unsafe for use with modern appliances. We install high-grade 316 or 904 stainless-steel flexible liners, correctly sized for your appliance and fuel type, sealed with register plates and insulated where required.

External twin-wall flue system running up the side of a house

Twin-wall systems are ideal for properties without an existing chimney, or where the existing flue cannot be relined. We design the route to be both compliant and sympathetic to your property, whether running internally through the building or externally along the gable wall. All penetrations are fire-stopped to current regulations.

No terrace without a fire..

Multi-fuel stoves offer the flexibility to burn wood, anthracite, and smokeless fuels. We ensure the flue diameter, height, and terminal position are correctly specified for the fuel type and appliance output — critical for safe, efficient operation and compliance with Building Regulations Part J.

Engineer surveying a chimney with measuring equipment

We assess your property's structure, measure existing chimney dimensions, check for obstructions or shared flues, and discuss your heating goals. You receive a detailed specification drawing and a clear, itemised quotation. If planning consent or Building Control notification is needed, we'll advise you upfront.

HETAS compliance certificate and stove installation documentation

As HETAS-registered installers, we are authorised to self-certify solid-fuel heating installations. This means the work is automatically notified to your local Building Control department, and you receive a certificate of compliance — essential for insurance, home surveys, and future property sales.

Very pleased with our new woodburning stove installed by FBS Flues & Chimneys. It was a pleasure dealing with this company as all parts of the process were carried out by them in a reliable and efficient manner. Would not hesitate to recommend to any potential new customers.

FBS flues were patient and gave attention to detail when we were choosing our stove. It was not a straight forward job as it required fitting a stove and chimney through the centre of our home. The work was delayed and this was compensated for. When we asked for alternatives this was attended to immediately. Anything we felt didn't meet our expectations was rectified with a 'can do' approach. I suspect we were not easy customers as we had definite requirements but we never felt too much at any time. Now the fire is fitted it is the centre piece of our main living area of our home and admired by guests. We would like to thank Richard and his team especially Matt for all their efforts and would highly recommend them.

Great service from showroom through to use. Advice and suggestions when we first looked in the showroom were helpful and knowledgeable as was everything discussed during the survey, after which we decided on an inset log burner. The installation was completed over the course of a day (even with a new lintel having to be fitted due to a little surprise which was not apparent until the work was being carried out). We are delighted with the result and love the log burner. Thanks to all at FBS Flues and can’t recommend them highly enough.
