Regulations

There seems to be regulations for everything nowadays, but in the case of fires, stoves and range cookers this is not without good reason. These regulations are all safety based and come from the unfortunate experience of others… so we are quite keen on the regulations.

Many people seem to think that you can just put a wood burner into any position in a house but failure to take into account the right ventilation, safe distances from joists, and correct hearth sizes, can have catastrophic consequences. That’s where we come in.

We know the regulations, and you can be sure that all our installations are carried out to the highest standard and conform to the relevant governing body.

For your convenience we have outlined the main regulations affecting our products below:

HETAS:

HETAS is the official body recognised by government to approve solid fuel domestic heating appliances, fuels and services. Its work in approving products covers boilers, cookers, open fires, stoves and room heaters. It is important that solid fuel and wood burning appliances are properly installed, regularly maintained and correctly operated and that chimneys, flue and hearths are up to standard.

GAS SAFE:

Gas Safe is the official body for all gas appliances. To be Gas Safe registered you must complete rigorous training and examination and all of our engineers have reached correct levels of this certification.  All gas appliances, when installed, must be to both manufacturer and Gas Safe standard. Gas Safe must then be notified of the installation.

Building Regulations:

Document J:- Document J covers the building regulations for installations of solid fuel, gas and oil appliances. This document covers hearths, chimneys, distances from combustible materials and many more aspects that are involved with installation. Every installation we complete is done to these standards.

OFTEC:

Oftec is the official body governing oil installations. Much the same as Hetas and Gas Safe it regulates all aspects of oil installations to make sure they are safe and up to standard.
