Well-installed multi-fuel stoves can last for many years but only if maintained correctly. Regular servicing ensures the stove burns fuel efficiently, is safe to use and meets UK environmental standards.

Without proper care, soot build-up and worn seals often lead to poor performance, smoke leakage or, worse still, safety concerns. Using our HETAS-approved engineers to install, service and repair multi-fuel stoves ensures that work meets current industry standards.

Why Servicing Your Multi-Fuel Stove Matters

All multi-fuel stoves in Hastings should be serviced at least once a year to maintain their condition. Regular servicing helps to:

Aid burning efficiency to save fuel and reduce costs
Prevent the blockages that cause smoke and fumes
Maintain safe airflow and chimney draught
Detect wear before it leads to expensive repairs
Comply with warranties and current HETAS safety standards

During the cold months, neglected stoves become inefficient, and can run unsafely. Regular servicing means you’ll always get the best in terms of performance from a stove throughout the whole of the year.

What a Stove Service Involves

When you book servicing for multi-fuel stoves in Hastings with Swept Away Installations, one of our qualified HETAS engineers will carry out a full inspection and clean to the standards specified below.

The process typically includes:

Checking the body, door seals, hinges and glass for damage
Cleaning the flue, baffle plate and firebox
Inspecting and sweeping the chimney to remove soot

Testing the ventilation and flue draught
Checking and adjusting the air control components
Ensuring that parts are safe, correctly fitted and working

Our engineers use specialist tools to access the internal components safely and efficiently. If replacement parts are required, we always discuss the options with you first before ordering anything in.

When to Book a Service

It is best to have your multi-fuel stoves serviced at the end of the heating season, usually in spring or early summer. Timing allows any soot or residues to be cleaned before it causes corrosion during the warmer months. However, if a stove shows signs of poor performance, such as difficulty lighting, uneven burning or smoke escaping into the room, it is worth booking a service sooner for safety reasons.

New installations benefit from the annual check to keep the warranty valid and the appliance meeting emission and safety standards.

Our engineers cover all locations in the Hastings area.
