A lot will depend on the condition of the chimney. You may have to line the inside which can be costly. Building regulations have tightened up greatly in recent times. | | | |

Just had this done after my old back boiler finally stopped working. We had a combi fitted then got a log fire put in, which involves opening up the fireplace which is a messy job, then laying a hearth, this is all pretty simple and you can do it yourself if you have the knowhow.
Hard bit is having a new flew installed. This involved working on the roof and top of chimney. We had all the work done by a HETAS registered company. In total it cost us £1700 including the price of the fire. |  | | |

Builders Merchant on Fabian Way by the Audi garage will have everything you need. How much you spend will depend on how big the fire you want is. [Post edited 15 Dec 2017 15:02]

Can't remember exactly but ours was around £1.5k including the burner.
The size of the burner (and cost) will depend on the size of the room you want to heat. A mid size wood (not multi fuel) burner can set you back about £600.
Add in the cost of the pipe up the chimney, lining the old fireplace, a new hearth and labour and you can easily add in another £900 to that.
Then you need to consider where you're going to get the wood from. A tonne builder's bag size of seasoned wood can set you back about £100. The recycled compressed sawdust type 'logs' are quite good and you can get 10 for £5 in B&Q / Homebase.
Oh, and add in the cost of the annual chimney sweep! | | | |

This one is re-opening the fireplace as it was taken out about 10 years ago and the wall dry lined. Then widening about a foot either side.
This is for a rented property so not worried about the other costs. | |

As an option check out Masport. Depends what you want. |  | | |

Why would you put a would burner in a rental property, unless it's a holiday let ?
Usually try to trim costs with a rental, plus wood burner puts off ore renters than it attracts |  |

It's more to do with resolving a chimney issue which seems to me sucking in moisture and causing a damp problem so killing two birds with one stone. I want to sell this property but a buyer is causing a lot of issues thanks to his mortgage so improving the property resolving damp issue etc | |

Makes sense then.
Cheaper alternative could be to remove the chimney and cap it (allowing ventilation of course) and hire an industrial dryer and dehumidifier for a couple of weeks ?
Otherwise you may spend up to £2k and still not cure your problem ?
All the best anyway | |

I installed mine myself. Fitted a 25 year flue, and bought a Parkray slimeline consort Stove,£800 and they come with a 10 year warranty. Had it 7 years and only thing we have had to replace is the door ropes.
Dont go for a cheap stove as they warp apparently. Or if the glass smash on the front they are hard to replace.
Also buy a eco fan to sit on top of the stove. Swirls the air from the stove around the room. |  | | |

Take a walk between Oxwich and Slade, there’s enough wood washed up on the rocks there to keep you going for months. |  | | |
