Installing a solid fuel stove in your home is a worthwhile investment. However, you might be wondering if you need permission to install one.
Technically, no. If your wood-burning stove is installed by a specialist approved by the Heating Equipment Testing and Approvals Scheme (HETAS), you do not have to seek permission from your local authority.
HETAS is a UK organisation that monitors and continuously aims to improve the quality of solid fuel stoves in the home. This maintenance ensures that the chimneys and flues of the home remain safe when a log burner is installed.
