HETAS explained: registered stove installers

By the Logcroft team · Last checked 21 October 2026

Installation: A guide, not a design. Installing a stove is notifiable building work: use a HETAS-registered installer (or get building control sign-off). They'll check your room, hearth, chimney and ventilation before anything is fitted. Find a HETAS-registered installer (not an ad)

The rules: A guide to the rules, not legal advice. Rules differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and from one council to another. Always check the official pages linked here and with your local council.

Logcroft is an independent UK site for wood-burning and multi-fuel stove owners and buyers. Every figure is a guide, not advice: check your stove's manual and use a HETAS-registered installer. We don't test products.
