Inserting Stove

PrincessRR09

Hi we are thinking of installing a stove before the winter hits but just wondering does anyone have an idea of how much we would be looking at for the installation. We looked at stoves and think we could get one for 1000 (is thisrealistic) but no idea what is a good price for installing. We have oil heating at the mo and live in a 3 bed semi,hoping to heat about 9 rads and have a normal open fire with chimney at the moment.
Any ideas on price would be great thanks.

Large Stovax Riva 66 multi fuel insert stove supplied,old and horrible open fireplace demolished and new chimney breast built and plastered,twin walled flue liner installed too.

Cost me just over 2.5k euro.

I sourced the recessed polished marble hearth and marble plinth myself from a marble and grannite suppliers down in Wicklow,that was an extra 220 euro.

That's a fabulous job. 2.5k was more what we had in mind. 4300 is a bit out of our league.

I have a fireplace boarded up in the kitchen and would like to put a 4 kw stove in there. i can get the stove for around 400 but i would like a floating mantle made from some bog oak or something similar and a granite hearth put in. i was also considering geting cladding underneath the mantle down to the hearth. does anyone know anyone in dublin who could do this kind of work and give me a quote? also in your opinion is the cladding a bad idea? i have a mental pic of it looking rustic and charming but i may be wrong. could i perhaps just clad around the edge of the opening for the stove and plaster the rest? any ideas or links appreciated.

Just make sure the stove is not an unbranded chinese stove.......because it will be a useless piece of crap and you wont be able to get parts for it.

Make sure you get a propper branded name of stove,that has parts readily available.
