Installing a Wood Burning Stove

Disclaimer: this is a guide and is not a definitive source of legal information.

If you wish to install a wood burning or multifuel stove yourself then you will need, at the very least, to seek Building Regulations Approval. See the online government Planning Portal

The downloadable PDF version of Document J,  sets out in great detail the rules, regulations and requirements necessary to satisfy the law.

If you employ an installer registered under   HETAS  (Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme) s/he will be able to self-certify the work.
