Living in a Smoke-Controlled Area

Living in a smoke-controlled area like St Leonards-on-Sea comes with certain responsibilities regarding the type of multi-fuel stoves, wood-burning stoves and fuels you can use. It is recommended that you choose stoves that meet DEFRA's stringent emission standards to ensure minimal impact on air quality. You should also consider the fuel types you plan to use in a stove.

The team at Swept Away Installations can advise you on the best options for your location and help you to navigate through local regulations.


Which Stoves Burn More Cleanly?

When it comes to choosing between a multi-fuel stove and a wood-burning stove installation, cleanliness is a crucial factor. While both types can provide efficient heat, multi-fuel stoves offer greater versatility by allowing you to burn different fuels including wood, coal and even peat. Wood-burning stoves, on the other hand, create a more charming ambiance but only burn wood.

As HETAS engineers and stove installers, and as certificated chimney sweeps, we can discuss the benefits of each stove type and help you select the most suitable option for your home in St Leonards-on-Sea.

How do Stoves Gain Approval from DEFRA?

Stoves undergo rigorous testing and meet strict criteria to receive approval from DEFRA. These tests evaluate emissions, efficiency and safety standards to ensure that a stove complies with environmental regulations. Factors such as the type of fuel, combustion technology and air intake mechanisms play a significant role in determining a stove's viability for DEFRA approval.

Our team stays updated on the latest DEFRA-approved multi-fuel stoves and wood-burning stoves, and we can guide you through the selection process.


Which Fuels Should I Use in a Stove?

Choosing the right multi-fuel and wood-burning stove supplies is essential for optimal performance and efficiency. In the St Leonards-on-Sea area, where environmental concerns are paramount, selecting a clean-burning fuel is especially important. Seasoned hardwoods, such as oak and ash, are ideal for wood-burning stoves and offer long-lasting heat and minimal emissions. For multi-fuel stoves, consider smokeless fuels like anthracite, approved wood pellets which produce fewer pollutants, or peat and turf briquettes. Our team can recommend on stove types and advise you on the best fuels.
