We don't just 'fit' stoves; we engineer fireplace solutions. From structural opening of bricked-up inglenooks to installing modern freestanding units in new-builds, Ablaze Fireplaces provides the complete technical installation service across Lymington and Hampshire.
Many Lymington homes have original fireplaces that were bricked up or fitted with small gas fires in the 1970s. Our installation service often begins with structural work: carefully removing the blockwork to reveal the original chamber. We install new concrete or steel lintels where necessary to ensure the chimney stack's integrity, and we render the internal chamber using heat-resistant products that won't crack under the intense thermal stress of a wood burner.
For properties without a chimney, we specialise in 'freestanding' installations. This involves creating a dedicated hearth area and running a twin-wall insulated flue system through the ceiling or out through an external wall. Every install is calculated for the correct 'draw' - we don't guess the flue height; we calculate it based on your home's position and the stove's technical requirements to ensure a perfect burn every time.
As HETAS-certified installers, we provide the legal sign-off that proves your installation meets Document J of the Building Regulations. This is vital for your home insurance and future property sale.

Pricing varies because every chimney is different, but most installations in the Lymington area fall between £1,500 and £3,500 once you factor in the stove, hearth, and flue work. We give you a fixed, itemised quote after visiting your property so there are no surprises later.
Yes. Building Regulations require a HETAS certificate for any new solid-fuel appliance, and as a HETAS-registered company we issue yours on the day we finish. You'll want this document for your home insurance and for any future sale of the property.
This is one of the most common jobs we do. We carefully remove the infill, check or install a lintel, and render the chamber with heat-resistant materials so it's ready for your new stove. The original opening size often dictates which stoves will fit, which we assess during the survey.
Opening a chimney is dusty by nature, but we seal off the room with plastic sheeting, lay heavy-duty floor protection, and run industrial dust extraction throughout. We aim to leave your home as clean as we found it, only with a beautiful new stove in place.
