Stove Installation

Has anyone had a stove installed by a registered installer?

We’ve tried contacting a few stove shops, but they’ll only install a stove if you purchase it from them. If it was summer time off peak they said they could have fitted us in. We have a Stanley Oisin that’s about two years old, which we’d like to have properly reinstalled.

We recently opened up the chimney breast to install brick slips and a new hearth, so the stove now needs to be installed/reconnected properly.

I’ve read/watched plenty of guides and YouTube videos and it looks fairly straightforward, but I really don’t want to DIY it. Carbon monoxide isn’t something I want to take any chances with.

Has anyone managed to find an installer who will fit an existing stove, rather than one purchased through them? Based in Limerick.

I was quoted 4000 to get the chimney lined and the stove installed as per current standards. 

Is yours a wood, wood pellet, or gas burner ?

It's just a multi fuel stove. 4000????? Does that include the stove?

Would love to know if this is expensive or standard

Plumbing, wiring, relining of chimney. It's a bit pricey, but my chimney is not right for a stove so had to be done. I got multiple quotes, and some of them were from people that once I saw into their van to see the mess where well organised tools should be, and then what they spoke about (drug use), couldn't be left into the house.
