Too much, go north, worth the fuel.

If starting from scratch it could well be approaching £1000 + stove cost + flue

Is there already a stove in place (hearth, insulated wall panels, hole in the roof, roof fittings) ?

 

It really does depend on what needs doing but in London £50 per hour and 20 hours for the full-monty would not be unreasonable.

 

 

Whilst not a legal requirement, here is the recommended installation methods :

Thank you! I'm looking into a new build boat and the boat builders quoted me £3500 for installing + cost of the stove which is about £1000.

3500 for fitting a stove and surround ha

If its a smart newbuild with a good hearth, an ornately tiled back and top notch surrounding woodwork and trim then that's maybe ok, but if its just a bog standard stove install in the front corner then maybe not.

You are being silly, from scratch it is 2k, more like 3k,  for double skin flue and posh stoves.

The stove is the initial cost, a (recommended) double skin flue system is £600.

On top of that you have to build an hearth, a back wall with a heat resistant backing a certain distance off the back wall...and then make it tidy with a surround. Then you have to make a hole in your roof, normal 4" -4" flue needs a big cutting disk, or jigsaw blades....hopefully missing roof struts...maybe not.

Make good roof hole, lots of.sealant and fire rope up top end, cement and possibly reducing collar at stove top.

Doesnt sound out of the planet to be honest.

We paid around that for an install at home. Including the building of a fire board lined brick chamber, granite hearth and a very tall twin walled correctly topped flue. They were here for about five days from memory.

 

That sounds very expensive for a boat.

We paid around £2k for hearth, new surround with suitable air gaps, tiling, flue and chimney.  We already had a stove which had cracked so this had to be removed plus the old hearth and surround removed as it wasn't up to modern recommendations.

Thank you, so it could come to £3500 then.

Installed mine over the summer - £1360 for a Hobbit stove and flue kit, then maybe a good 2 days work building the hearth and installing it. At £50/hour, that'd come to roughly £2.5k all told

No fire just surround 3500 you all for real tell them that’s ok ?

That what I reckoned £1000 labour + stove and parts.

 

Admittedly it was a year or two ago but I remember paying £500 labour, (Midlands labour rates) and we paid for the tiles, fire-board, stove, flue kit, hearth etc
