Hi,

I'm looking to have a couple of multi-fuel cast-iron stoves fitted in
plenty of time for the winter.

I'm looking for a standalone cast iron stove for one room, to replace the
stove the previous owners took with them, and a "cassette" style stove for
another, to place in the current open fireplace.

Any recommendations on particular stoves and, just as importantly, someone
who would undertake this work in the Matlock area?

I imagine one of the chimneys is already lined to an appropriate standard
(although I can stick a torch up there and check if I knew what to look
for), but I guess that the other will need suitable preparation.


I quite like the look of this:

particularly the angled side-windows, but it seems cheap compared to
others, and I can't find much in the way of references to it.


Not much choice as far as inset stoves are concerned, but this looks the
part:

I'd say we have a budget of 1,500 - 2,000 or so for both. Does this seem
realistic if we factor in labour etc, or hopelessly optimistic?

Thanks

Sean

Top brands are Jotul and Morso, heavy iron castings - and it's the
quality of those castings that can't so easily be detected, but is
essential for longevity.

About £600 for base models, so would be tight on your budget unless
chimneys already have liners and are ready to go.

We have Morso stoves and they're fantastic. We have the inset 4560
(http://www.fireplaces-oldham.co.uk/Mail_Morso_4560.htm) and a
squirrel. Price would be about £750 for the inset and £458 for the
squirrel from http://www.canaltradingpost.com/ (by far the cheapest we
found). We also have a small boatman stove in the bedroom which is
great value for money http://www.boatmanstove.co.uk
