Report
I would like to thank everyone at Essex Stoves & Chimneys Ltd. They were really extremely professional from the start of our project to completion and well priced. All their advice was really helpful and… knowledgeable. We had a stove installed and they were really honest about our options, which made our decision much easier. Once the stove was installed, the fitters gave us lots of useful tips and tricks about maintaining the stove and around safety. I would fully recommend the team, so if your planning to get a fireplace or a stove then start with a Essex Stoves and Chimneys Ltd.
