Frequently asked questions
A complete fireplace installation typically starts from around $7,000, covering the fireplace, flue system, and installation labour. The final price depends on your roof type, flue run length, and consent requirements, which is why we offer free on-site quotes. No guesswork, just a clear number for your specific home.
From the day you order to the day your fire is burning, allow around 7 weeks. Building consent takes 4 to 6 weeks to come through, and the physical installation is usually completed in a single day. We handle the consent paperwork so you don't have to think about it.
Yes, a building consent is required for all solid fuel fireplace installations in New Zealand. It is not optional, but it is also not your problem. We manage the entire consent process as part of every installation package so you are covered from day one.
An annual chimney sweep is the most important thing you can do. It keeps your fire burning cleanly and safely and is a condition of most home insurance policies. Beyond that, consumable parts like door seals, fire bricks, and glass may need replacing over time. We offer chimney sweeping and maintenance services across the Bay of Plenty.
