Ablaze Fireplaces is a family-run business based in Lymington, Hampshire, founded by Sam - a HETAS-certified installer with over 20 years of experience fitting wood burners, stoves, hearths, and chimney systems across the New Forest and wider Hampshire.
Sam has spent over 20 years perfecting the art of fireplace and stove installation. What started as a trade apprenticeship grew into a deep passion for the craft - from restoring period inglenooks to fitting the latest EcoDesign clean burn stoves.
As a HETAS-registered installer, Sam personally oversees every project from the initial home survey through to the final certification. No subcontractors, no shortcuts - just honest, meticulous workmanship that stands the test of time.
When he's not fitting stoves, Sam enjoys life in Lymington with his family. That local connection is at the heart of everything Ablaze Fireplaces does - treating every customer like a neighbour and every home like his own.
Sam has been working with fireplaces, stoves, and chimneys for over two decades, building deep technical knowledge across every type of installation.
From compact inset stoves to full inglenook restorations and twin-wall chimney systems, Ablaze has transformed hundreds of Hampshire homes.
