Having worked in the construction industry for many years, in 2005 we decided to set up our own property maintenance business covering Bath and the surrounding area. We quickly gained a large client base mainly getting work from client recommendation. A short time later we learned that there was a shortage of quality stove technicians in the area, so after assisting an experienced fitter for a time, Guy completed the HETAS course and so added stove fitting to the list of services we offered. In late 2007 we relocated to Cornwall, which meant we had to start all over again!
Wood burning stoves are one of the most cost-effective forms of renewable power that you can incorporate into your home. By 'renewable' we mean that wood used for fuel can easily be replaced by simply growing more - in fact wood experts tell us that if everyone switched to wood burners the UK could quickly become self-sufficient in wood fuel once our woods were properly managed and coppiced. Providing the wood fuel is harvested from a sustainable wood source then there is no net increase in CO2 emissions (the most significant greenhouse gas).
