The engineers provided an excellent service

The engineers arrived punctually, got on with the work and had replaced my old outdated gas fire and fireplace by lunchtime. They worked hard, were conscientious, cleaned up after themselves and were polite. They did a brilliant job and I am very happy with with the end result.
Thank you

Timely, thorough and great job done

The person assigned to the fitting arrived exactly on time and did a great job on all fronts, fitting, plastering, showing us both how to switch on/off the gas fire and also tips on cleaning.

Faulty remote control

I have recently had an Edge balanced-flue gas stove installed. The fire itself is lovely and looks really good, however, it can only be operated by a battery controlled remote control which is cheap and flimsy. The fire was installed in December 2025 and I’m already on my second remote. It’s forever ‘unpairing’ itself with the fire and is generally not of a good quality. The fire would be MUCH better if it could be operated without a remote control. Such a shame because I wouldn’t recommend the fire purely because of a cheap, unreliable remote control which spoils it.

Dear Daniel,

I have been in touch with our customer service team and had a look at the images you sent us to review.

The images of your baffle show that whilst temporarily affecting the visual look of the surface there are no concerns safety or longevity-wise.

This has been caused by the oxidation layer of the steel surface, which occurs during the rolling process of manufacturing the steel plate.

Over time the baffle will again achieve a firebox patina with a more consistent finish overall.

Kind Regards

Superb people, products and approach

Its the after sales experience that makes this company such a fabulous business. Clever, polite, helpful, professional customer leaning people, who remind you of what Companies used to be like. Their fires are also stylish, robust and effective. I would have no hesitation in buying from Charlton and Jenrick again. In fact I wouldn't buy a fire from anywhere else. Well done team, well done management.

Charlton & Jenrick deserve a full five stars for both their customer support (Nathan in particular) and their service engineer technicians (Kendal in particular) all of whom I found to be extremely professional and delivered everything they said they could, within the realistic time scale they provided. I would have no hesitation in using their services again.

Unsafe Stove and Zero Response from Charlton & Jenrick

I own the Purevision Wood Burning Stove from Charlton & Jenrick (purchased in February 2023) - the so-called “Rolls-Royce of our collection,” as they proudly describe it to make you feel you’re investing in something premium and reliable. Unfortunately, the moment you paid, that sense of care and professionalism seems to disappear completely.

Ten days ago, on Friday 21st November, I emailed the company with clear evidence (photographs) showing how unsafe the stove has become - in under two years of use. The situation is serious, and I expected at the very least a prompt acknowledgment. Instead, nothing.

This is what I wrote:

“I would be grateful if you could advise me, please, as our stove no longer feels safe.
I have noticed ash escaping from it, which is concerning, and I can see the fire through the gap. I also observed that the rope seal attached to the glass appears to have deteriorated or melted at the bottom.
I am worried that this could potentially allow carbon monoxide to escape. I have attached photos as evidence; I used a card underneath the door to clearly show the size of the gap.
I would appreciate a response as soon as possible.”

Not a single reply. So on Tuesday, 25th November, I called. The woman who answered - half-asleep, by the sound of it - admitted she had read the email but “had no chance to reply,” despite me clearly explaining that I am worried for my family’s safety. I also reminded her that the stove is registered and under warranty until 2034. She assured me she would get back to me “as soon as possible.”

And now here we are: 1st December 2025 - still no phone call, no email, absolutely no acknowledgment.
At this point, I’m left wondering whether they are waiting for a tragic headline to appear:
“It was such a lovely family - sadly lost to carbon monoxide poisoning.”
Would that finally prompt them to respond? Or would they simply wait for the investigation that follows?

The lack of urgency, responsibility, and basic customer care is astonishing - and completely unacceptable for a company selling products that directly affect people’s safety. I still wait for them to call or email back as the product is covered with a warranty!
