Wood-Burning Stoves in Newhaven, Ringmer and the East and West Sussex Areas

If you would like to replace a traditional open fire with something that is more efficient, use an alternative to gas central heating, or need an additional way to heat your home, Swept Away Installations is here to help. We are an accredited team of stove installers and HETAS engineers based in Eastbourne with a fully mobile service that you can use as a convenient substitute for a land-based stove showroom. Hal and his team can supply, install, service and repair multi-fuel and wood-burning stoves in East Sussex and West Sussex.

Wood-burning stoves are cheaper to run than electric and gas heating, and they also create focal points in the home which add character and style.

Areas covered by Swept Away Installations include:

Battle – Bexhill-on-Sea – Brighton – Eastbourne – Hailsham – Hastings – Hove – Lewes – Newhaven – Ringmer – Saltdean – Seaford – St Leonards-on-Sea – Uckfield

We can supply you with a wide range of branded products which combine the benefits of an economical heat form with the visual appeal of roaring flames and which, on cold autumn and winter nights, will make your home feel cosier. Typically, open fires are approximately 32% efficient while an open-room gas fire reaches an efficiency level of up to 55%. Eco-designed multi-fuel stoves and wood-burning stoves can be as much as 80% efficient.

A wood-burning stove is a self-contained appliance that burns wood as a fuel source to generate heat with the fire safely contained within the body. Usually manufactured in cast iron or steel, our stoves radiate heat into your home’s room space. Our stove installers and HETAS engineers modify the flue and will add a compatible liner. The smoke disperses through the chimney.

The Benefits of Wood-Burning Stoves

Efficiency is the biggest benefit to this type of stove because most of the fuel turns into heat. Burning wood and logs is an efficient way to warm the home that reduces your energy consumption. Choosing between multi-fuel stoves and wood-burning stoves should be relatively straightforward because we can make the most suitable recommendation based on your home, where you live, and whether your location is part of a smoke control zone or not.

If you do live in a smoke control zone, a stove with DEFRA approval might be a better choice because you’ll have flexibility in the fuels you can use.

Fuel and Loading

You can burn seasoned or kiln-dried logs in wood-burning stoves, or any fuel source with the Woodsure logo or a moisture content of below 20%.

Place logs into the combustion chamber and light with firelighters or kindling.

Combustion

Combustion starts once you light the logs and air regulates the burning rate. More advanced stoves go through a secondary combustion process that burns gases and particles from primary combustion at higher temperatures.

This increases fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.

Air Control

Most wood-burning stoves generate radiant heat, warming the room directly using heat from hot surfaces. Other stoves use a convection heating process.

Convection heating draws in cool air, warms it, and dissipates it into the room

Instead of having to visit a stove showroom where you might not get personal attention or even the best advice, Hal and his team visit you in the comfort of your own home to survey, consult, make recommendations on multi-fuel and wood-burning stoves, and provide you with a detailed written quotation which includes the product, labour and material costs, and information about any modifications our stove installers might need to make.

Stoves come in a choice of sizes, and in classic and contemporary designs:

Small-Sized Stoves

Smaller wood-burning stoves are a better choice for individual bedrooms and smaller houses, for conservatories, or for use as a secondary heat source.

Medium-Sized Stoves

A stove in a medium size would be best suited to living and dining rooms, a larger open-planned living space or a home of a medium size.

Large-Sized Stoves

The largest wood-burning stoves work best in large open spaces and are the ideal choice for bigger family homes or properties with higher ceilings.

Based in Eastbourne and covering Battle, Bexhill-on-Sea, Brighton, Hailsham, Hastings, Hove, Lewes, Newhaven, Ringmer, Saltdean, Seaford, St Leonards-on-Sea and Uckfield, and all locations in East and West Sussex, we are the trusted wood-burning stove installers for discerning customers who feel ready to move back to a conventional form of heating but with the option to buy in a variety of classic and contemporary designs based on their personal needs.

And because Hal’s team offers a mobile service, you won’t need to spend hours in a stove showroom looking at wood-burning stoves of a lesser quality.
