Wood Burning Stove Install Price Check

[foreverme]

So sitting here a little shocked by a couple of prices to install a Contura C690AG Wood Burning Stove (we bought the stove all new and packed up from a wood burning store closing down sale), so this is just the install price..

Very easy install straight out the side of the house and up, twin wall system about 5M in length, half a days work at most..

What are folks guesses on the quotes i have had so far..

Thinking the same about doing it myself one quote was 3700, the other was 3000.

Nothing needs building its a free standing stove that sits on a glass hearth that comes with it, so this is just making a hole through the wall, one for the flue the other for the air vent, then attaching the pipe to the outside of the wall!!

I have priced up all the items (nicely itemised on one quote) and it comes to 600, i am sure they get better prices than me, so 3100 for half a days work!! I dont mind paying a fair price as they have to get training, overheads etc and its hard running a small business, but i was thinking between 1500 - 2000 would be fair...

the variance being, houses, chimneys and installs vary massively. its ok, saying the full job cost me a farthing- but in the real world- there could be an immense amount of work to achieve an installation. eg- little, low roofed cottage or a generic semi- v some 3 storey terrace with a complex internal chimney system- plus the factor of even getting on the roof to drop a liner in.

then the stack is knackered and wants repointing, or flaunching doing

Not a stove installer by chance 😁
