Jesmond, Gosforth, Heaton and the streets around them have some of the best rooms in the region for a stove. High ceilings, original chimney breasts and features worth designing around rather than covering up.
Period property across the city and suburbs. Surveyed, installed, commissioned and certified by our own engineers.
Thirty years of working here means we usually know what a property needs before we arrive. The survey confirms it.
Jesmond, Heaton and Gosforth are dominated by Victorian and Edwardian stock, much of it in Tyneside flats. That last point matters more than anything else on this page. In a Tyneside flat the flue has to travel past somebody else's home, which changes what is possible and what has to be notified.
The upside is the property itself. Original chimney breasts, generous rooms and cast iron surrounds worth keeping. We would far rather open a chamber up behind an original feature than tear it out, and on most of these jobs that is exactly what we do.
Parts of Jesmond and Gosforth also sit within conservation areas, which can affect what is permitted above the roofline. If a twin wall terminal or a new pot is involved, it is worth knowing that before the work is booked rather than afterwards.
The same services wherever you are, all carried out by our own HETAS registered engineers with no subcontractors involved.
One workshop, one team, and one place you can come and see the stoves before you decide anything.

Free parking on site. Bring the width and depth of your chimney breast and a rough idea of the room size, and we can tell you there and then what will suit it.
The things people in Newcastle ask us most often before booking a survey.
Often yes, but it needs surveying carefully. In a Tyneside flat the flue may pass adjacent to or through another property, which affects the route, the fire protection required and the notification. It is not a job to take on assumptions, which is why the survey matters here more than anywhere.
It can, particularly for anything visible above the roofline such as a twin wall terminal or a replacement pot. Lining an existing stack is usually far less contentious. We will flag anything worth checking with the council at the survey.
Usually, and we would encourage it. On period Newcastle property the original surround is often the best feature in the room. We open the chamber up behind it to a suitable size rather than removing it, where the construction allows.
Yes, though access and parking take more planning in the centre. We cover Newcastle, Jesmond, Gosforth, Heaton, Kenton, Fenham, Benton, Byker and Walker regularly.
Room volume matters more than floor area, so a tall Victorian room does need sizing properly. That said, oversizing is the most common mistake we get called out to correct, so we work it out at the survey rather than guessing upward.
Not quite the right area? These are the places closest to Newcastle that we work in.
Tell us a little about the room and the chimney and we will give you a fixed price in writing. We can survey in person, or remotely from photos and Google Maps. No charge and no obligation.
