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.

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.

Charnwood Bay BX…

Absolutely love our Charnwood Bay BX Wood burner, installed by Kernow Fires. The fire looks very modern and stylish but more importantly provides efficient warmth to our home. Thank you Charnwood for a very 1st class product.

We bought a Charnwood Haven

We bought a Charnwood Haven. It's a fabulous stove. Delivered promptly and really well packaged on a pallet.
Installation went well but here is where it dropped a star. The fitter came across a small manufacturing defect (bracket weld not 90 degrees) so we rang for some help. We had a fix, but didn't want to invalidate the warranty. But for two hours, we were denied access to any technical help. The person concerned kept repeating the installation instructions which we had, and flatly refused to accept there could be a fault, and refused access to anyone senior, despite our fitter being on site in the middle of installation.
When we did finally get to speak to management they were very helpful, reviewed our photos, could see the issue and agreed to our solution. But......I hope they have reviewed the technical help process.
I'd have really loved to have given it five stars, the stove so deserves it.
Update - Charnwood contacted me about my experience and kindly offered to take feedback which I have provided. I'm fairly certain my experience wouldn't happen again to someone else. Thank you for doing this.

Charnwood Aire 7 after 6 months

I wanted to give some feedback on the Charnwood Aire 7 I installed in October last year, so I've had 6 months with it over the Winter too.
I have to say it is the most wonderful of wood burners I have ever owned. Easy to light, easy to control, easy to clean. In fact I have only ever cleaned the glass once, then just with a damp cloth. Emptying the ash is only needed every few weeks. The quality of the engineering is top-notch and this stove must be the result of a lot of development. At minimum air it just keeps ticking over, at maximum it really kicks out the heat, and there's everything in between. A typical evening we will burn just 4 decent hardwood logs - about half of what we used on the open fire, and you get more and better controllable heat too. Every home should have one!

We were advised the 5kw would be the right choise by our installer but alas ww could only fit a 5"flue, so had to download size to the 3 7kw, although smaller this dose still give off good heat, we will have to wait till next winter now to see if it performs for us.
Love the style, although we do get a little wind noise on windy days.

The choice of Log Burner was spot on

The choice of Log Burner was spot on. To have our evenings turned from cold to warm was lovely and the heat from our Charnwood made us very cosy.
