Stoves
Solid fuel stoves in the Berkshire area
At Berkshire Fireplace Centre, we pride ourselves on our expertise in providing you a selection of diverse, stylish and efficient solid fuel stoves.
Solid fuel stoves have gained in popularity over the past five years, partly due to the increase in gas prices, but also because people are rediscovering the joy and ambiance associated with having a real fire burning in their homes.
Home-owners are also much more aware of energy efficiency considerations and understand that a glass fronted fire ensures that the fire will push most of the heat into the room with reduced heat loss up the chimney.
We’re happy to offer personalised guidance on selecting the ideal stove style that suits your home, all while considering your budget and requirements.

Common questions
Before you book
What areas do you cover?
We cover a 20 mile radius from Reading. The main locations we cover are Reading, Maidenhead, Henley, Ascot, Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Thatcham and Basingstoke.
You've closed the showroom — how do I see anything?
We bring the showroom to you. We visit your home with detailed brochures and fireplace samples, look at the space, the chimney and the style of the house, and help you choose the design, fuel and installation that suit it. Seeing samples against your own walls and floor, in your own light, is a far better guide than a showroom.
Can I install the fireplace myself?
For safety, please use a suitably qualified installer. Gas work must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for the appliance. Solid-fuel installations must meet the relevant Building Regulations. We’re happy to arrange an installer and discuss what is needed during your free home survey.
How can I be sure that a new fireplace can be installed in my home?
After you have chosen your new fireplace we will carry out a free home visit where our experienced surveyor will check that the fireplace is suitable for your chimney, and at the same time assess the work involved in the installation. They will give you a quote for the installation work and answer any questions you have about the process.
Do you do a free survey?
Yes. Once you’ve decided what you want us to put in, we’ll carry out a technical survey to make sure everything fits and can be installed safely by our qualified Gas Safe and HETAS engineers.
