Who can fit my new fireplace?

fireplace installations

Who can fit my new fireplace? All fireplaces must be fitted by a member of the governments competent person scheme. So a HETAS registered fitter for fireplaces and appliances using solid fuel or wood. With a GasSafe registered fitter for fireplaces using gas appliances.

Otherwise, the fireplace itself can be fitted by yourself if you apply for Building Control from your Local Authority Building Control office. Then the appliance can be installed by a HETAS or GasSafe engineer BUT check they are happy to work this way before you attempt a DIY installation.
