Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the high quality of the products, noting their excellent build and efficient performance. Many people highlight the helpfulness and knowledge of the staff, emphasizing the exceptional service received from initial advice through to installation. The overall user experience is frequently described as positive, with consumers finding the products easy to use and maintain. However, some customers also noted occasional issues with rope seals needing re-gluing shortly after installation, causing inconvenience and requiring installer visits. A few other people also felt that a specific stove model's vent was not effective enough, requiring the door to be kept open. There was also a mention of a back plate warping issue in one instance, attributed by the company to overheating, which the customer disputed.

Stove fitted, looks good, excellent instructions for use, produces lovely heat and large door window gives room a cosy feel when lit. Wish we had replaced our open fire years ago.

A good, efficient log burner that delivers a lot of heat from a modest size

The preliminary assessment for suitability and the subsequent installation was straightforward and trouble free. The explanation concerning origin of the log burner gave us a feeling that our product was manufactured to high standards and the warranty gave us a sense of security if problems arise. The Charnwood Country 4 blu log burner has proved easy to light and controls are effective and simple to use.
We are delighted.

First class woodburner and first class choice of models

The showroom at the burning question in Perth was welcoming, the staff very knowledgable of the choice of wood burners. I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying one. The product arrived in timescale and the wood burner is fantastic. It is easy to maintain and clean and the heat is fabulous.

An excellent stove with good aftersales service

We bought a Charnwood wood burning stove and a fireplace from Direct Stoves in Manchester. This was our first stove and we used an installer (Lee Jensen) linked to the supplier. The installation was messy but swift. The 5Kw stove looks even better than the example in the showroom and provides considerable heat. Minor glitches involving applying online for the stove guarantee were swiftly overcome by dealing directly with Sharon at Charnwood, who was knowledgeable and fun, who also made obtaining optional extras a swift process.

Top quality service

We recently moved home and "inherited" an old Charnwood wood burner.

I wanted to remove the multi-fuel kit, but did not know which components to remove. Charnwood provided me with detailed step-by-step instructions which made the job very easy.

They also checked the state of the burner by looking at some photos and provided the part number of a component that needed to be replaced. It was very easy to order via their website, and very reasonably priced.

The people at Charnwood were very pleasant and helpful. The company provides top quality, old-fashioned service and expertise, and long-term support for its products.
