Stoves and fireplaces in Letchworth Garden City
Letchworth’s original Garden City houses were built with generous chimneys and inglenooks that take a stove beautifully. Many flues need lining before use, which we include in the quote.
Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation runs a Scheme of Management: external changes such as a new flue on an outside wall usually need the Foundation’s consent as well as any planning rules. We flag this at the survey so nothing holds the job up.
For the later estates with no chimney, a twin-wall flue or a false chimney breast is the usual answer.

Questions from Letchworth Garden City customers
Do I need Heritage Foundation consent for a stove in Letchworth?
A stove inside the house usually does not, but an external flue or anything that changes the outside of the building may. We tell you at the survey and can supply the details the Foundation asks for.
Can you line an old Letchworth chimney?
Yes. Most Garden City chimneys need a flexible flue liner before a stove is fitted; it is a normal part of the installation and covered by the HETAS certificate.
Do you cover Baldock and Stotfold too?
Yes, all of North Hertfordshire and just over the Bedfordshire border for Stotfold and Arlesey.
