Wood Burning Stove Inspection Brighton Sussex

Keep Your Stove Running Safely and Efficiently All Seasons

Pete at Van Dyke provides stove inspection across Brighton, Hove, and Sussex — a thorough check covering everything your appliance needs to run safely and efficiently through the burning season. A well-maintained stove burns cleaner, performs better, and lasts longer.

Stove inspection Brighton and Sussex — what’s covered

Every stove inspection includes fire cement resealing around the door and body joints, a thorough stove body clean, and a full glass clean so you get that clear flame view back. These are the three areas most commonly neglected between annual visits — and the ones that most affect both performance and safety.

Failing door seals let air bypass the combustion chamber, reducing efficiency and increasing fuel costs. Deteriorated fire cement can allow harmful gases to escape into the room. A clogged glass panel is usually the first visible sign that a stove needs attention — and a sign that burn quality is suffering.

Pete also checks the baffle plate, grate, and ashpan, and advises on any parts that need replacing before they become a more costly problem. Wear items like door rope and glass are straightforward to replace during the inspection visit if required. All of this comes as standard — no itemised add-ons, no surprises.

Whether you have a log burner, multifuel stove, or solid fuel appliance, Pete’s annual stove inspection covers everything your installer or manufacturer recommends. On completion you receive a written report noting the condition of each component and any remedial work required — a useful record for your insurer.
