Installation of wood stove

I had two other companies quote for this job, but what appealed to me about Sussex Stoves was that they were highly competitive in their price, AND were able to do the WHOLE job - that is they were able to take out the old brick fireplace, open up the hearth, lay the hearth limestone tiles, and make good at the end, in addition to the installtion of my Moros stove and flue liner, The stove installation was carried out quickly with efficiency and professionalism. There was a slight problem with my chimney in that it was too small at one place for the liner to come down. Tim was unpeteturbed and found the solution which involved breaking into the chimney flue further up the chimney breast. All was made good, the plastering was excellent, and the general standard of work exemplary. I found Tim and his team easy to communicate with, helpful and there were no extra or hidden costs to this job. I would highly recommend him.

Refitted a wood burning stove and flue that was improperly installed by another firm.

Really quick, professional, tidy and very reasonable. They were extremely helpful and made every effort to put right the work done by the other company at a very fair price. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Tim and his colleague were most polite, efficient and professional. They were very aware of possible mess and totally covered the room with plastic sheeting. They kept me informed of their progress throughout the installation. I won't hesitate to recommend them. Well done fellas.

Tim was absolutely outstanding. He was upfront with the cost, work needed and timeframes, and they were all what he said they would be.

The work was done to a high standard, and we are really happy with the end result. I would have no hesitation in recomending his services.
