Overview
What this service is: and who it is for.
What it is
Electric stove installation covers appliance selection, siting, cable routing and, where wanted, surround, hearth and chamber works. The stove runs from a standard 13A socket, needs no flue, and produces flame effect plus a thermostatic 2kW fan heater.
Who it is for
Perfect for apartments, offices, rented properties, secondary rooms without chimneys, and any home where an occupant simply wants the look and ambient warmth of a fire without solid fuel or gas. Also popular in new builds where a real fire is not a design priority.
When to book
Suits room refurbishments, apartment fit-outs, home-office rebrands and holiday-let refreshes. Also the perfect solution where an existing chimney is impractical to reopen or line.
Why professional help matters
Electric stoves have moved a long way in the past decade, LED and holographic flame technologies now produce genuinely convincing flame effects that hold up in daylight, and the appliance quality of leading brands rivals gas and solid fuel visually.
If it's ignored
The cost of getting this wrong is higher than the cost of doing it once.
Cheap electric stoves ruin the look of the room.
The market is flooded with sub-£300 units where the flame effect fails on close inspection. Specify well, and the appliance looks the part; specify poorly and you regret it every day.
Bad siting kills the effect.
Electric stoves need thoughtful positioning against a chamber or surround, sitting freestanding in the middle of a wall rarely reads well. We site them like real fireplaces.
Cable and switching left visible.
Cable runs, isolator switches and thermostat controls all need to be planned into the install, after the paint is dry is too late.
Our process
Five steps from first call to certificate in your hand.
The same disciplined sequence on every project, whether it's a Georgian townhouse in Windsor or a new-build media wall in Ascot.
01
Free site survey
Chris visits your home to measure the chimney, hearth, room volume and ventilation. We inspect the flue, discuss aesthetics and confirm what is achievable in your specific property, from Georgian townhouses to sealed new-build breasts.
02
Fixed written quote in 24–48 hours
Every line item priced: stove, flue components, hearth, chamber works, building control. Potential extras (unforeseen chimney issues, structural adjustments) are itemised in advance so the number you sign off is the number you pay.
03
Design & specification sign-off
We refine the stove choice, materials, chamber finish and flue route with you. Deposit: cost of the stove plus 50% of installation, secures your slot within 72 hours of quote acceptance.
04
Installation on site (typically 1–3 days)
Dust sheets and protection go down first. Our HETAS-registered team completes the install to Building Regulations, cleans as we go, and treats your home like our own, no shortcuts, no mess left behind.
05
Testing, HETAS certificate & aftercare
Smoke test, draw test, first light with you present, plus a full walk-through of controls, fuel and maintenance. HETAS certificate issued to you and your insurer. 12-month workmanship guarantee starts the day we leave.

Deep detail
Getting an electric stove install right
The engineering, materials and decisions behind the finished job.
Siting and surround
Electric stoves benefit from being framed like a real fireplace, chamber, hearth and mantel or a clean plaster reveal. We design the surround so the appliance reads as part of the room.
Cable routing and switching
Cable runs are hidden through the surround; an isolator switch is sited discreetly. Where a fused spur or additional socket is needed, we coordinate with an electrician.
Heater and flame controls
Most models include remote-controlled flame speed, colour, brightness and heater output. We show you every option at handover so nothing goes unused.
Frequently asked
The questions we hear most often about electric stove installation.
How much does an electric stove installation cost?
+
Appliance and installation together typically start from around £700 for a freestanding install into an existing room. Bespoke chambers, hearths and surrounds are quoted line-by-line so the price is fixed before you commit.
Do electric stoves actually heat a room?
+
Yes: the built-in fan heater outputs up to 2kW, sufficient to warm a small to medium living room. For large rooms, treat the heater as supplementary and rely on your main heating.
Do I need any special wiring?
+
Most models run from a standard 13A socket. Where a nearby socket does not exist, we coordinate with an electrician to add a fused spur.
Are electric stoves noisy?
+
Quality appliances run near-silent on the flame effect alone. The fan heater produces a soft, easily ignored hum.
Can I run the flame effect without the heater?
+
Yes: every model we install allows flame-effect-only operation for year-round ambience without heat.
Do electric stoves need servicing?
+
No routine servicing: an occasional dust and an LED module replacement every 8–10 years is typically all that is required.
Can I install one myself?
+
You can plug in a freestanding appliance yourself. Where you want the stove to look like a real fireplace, with chamber, hearth and finish, a designer-led install is worth the investment.
Do you install in rental properties and holiday lets?
+
Frequently. Electric stoves are the lowest-hassle option for landlords and holiday-let owners, no gas checks, no chimney sweeps, no annual servicing.
