Solid fuel stoves - a dying breed

Chiara installedWell, it's amazing how quickly that things can change.

I decided to have the insulation of my 2005 built house checked after finding it difficult to keep the rooms warm during the bad winter of 2015/16.   Draughts, cold spots and a boiler that was always on the go meant it was time to do something.
