A Contura 210 and split-faced stone fireplace
A cassette-style stove was replaced with a Contura 210, split-faced stone chamber, lighting, oak beam, grey stone hearth and a new twin-wall flue in Kings Bromley.

The project
Thankfully, this client decided to arrange a home survey with our company and, fortunately, they also decided to proceed with the project. Otherwise, the phrase “Ashes to Ashes” may well have been rather appropriate for their home here in Kings Bromley
The brief was simple: remove the existing cassette-style woodburning stove set into the wall and replace it with a modern freestanding stove, positioned within a new feature chamber. The clients also wanted the option of introducing split-face stone and subtle lighting to enhance the new fireplace feature and create a real focal point within the room.
The result was a completely new look, transforming what had previously been a dated built-in stove into a more contemporary and carefully considered fireplace feature.
The work
What we did
The existing stove was a large appliance due to the guillotine door which slides up and into the appliance for a neat overall appearance. The stove was an extremely powerful model with an output far to high for the room. Over the years the client had slumbered the appliance due to the unbearable heat this fire does achieve and by slumbering they had caused issues within the existing flue system which was full of tar and ready to ignite at any time. In addition, the fire had been installed incorrectly by a builder rather than a specialist stove installation team. Within the chamber the builder had used combustible plasterboard with a paper back and insulated the chamber rather than ventilated which again caused the chamber to overheat. To say the whole installation was close to catching fire was the understatement of the year, very lucky people.
Once removed we rebuilt the chamber correctly using non combustible materials, then removed and replaced the flue system.

What We Used
Split-Faced Stone Chamber
A natural split-faced stone finish adds texture, character and warmth, creating a distinctive backdrop for the stove.
Chamber Lighting
Carefully positioned lighting brings the stone chamber to life, highlighting its texture and enhancing the overall ambience of the room.
Natural Oak Beam
A natural oak beam provides the perfect finishing touch to the stove chamber, while also creating a practical and attractive separation from the television above.
Grey Stone Stove Hearth
The grey stone hearth complements the tones and texture of the stone chamber, bringing the complete fireplace design together.
Twin-Wall Insulated Flue System
As the home had no existing chimney, we designed and installed a new twin-wall insulated stainless-steel flue system, providing a safe and efficient route for the flue gases while maintaining a neat finished overall appearance through the house.

Registration check
Verify Our HETAS Details Before Booking
When booking your stove installation with The Fireplace & Stove Co (TFS) or any installer, verifying registration details through the official HETAS directory ensures your project is fully compliant:
- Verify Business & Installer Status: Search the official HETAS online register to confirm that both the business and the individual attending engineer hold active, current registrations.
- Check Work Categories: Ensure the installer is specifically registered for your required work type (e.g., dry solid fuel appliance installation, internal twin-wall flue systems, or flexible chimney relining).
- Confirm Building Control Route: Work completed by a HETAS-registered competent person allows for self-certification under Building Regulations, saving you the time and expense of applying directly to your local council's Building Control department. If any part of the project falls outside their registered scope, a separate Building Control application must be arranged before work begins.
