The Best Time for Your Wood-Burning Stove Repairs

As the UK basks in warmer temperatures, the last thing on your mind might be your trusty wood-burning stove. But this sunny season is actually the perfect opportunity to give your stove the attention it deserves, ensuring it’s in prime condition long before the autumn chill sets in. At Glowing Embers, we know a thing or two about keeping your stove roaring, and we’re here to explain why early Autumn is your best friend for essential stove maintenance and repairs.

Why early Autumn is Stove Repair Season

Imagine this: the first cold snap hits, you light your stove, and… a draft, a crack, or a smoky room. Don’t let a faulty stove ruin your cosy winter evenings! Getting repairs done now offers several advantages:

1. No Rush, No Fuss: During colder months, demand for stove repairs skyrockets. By addressing issues in summer, you avoid long waiting lists and the stress of a non-functional stove when you need it most.
2. Optimal Conditions: Warmer weather means your stove is cold and clean, making it safer and easier to work on. Plus, you won’t be relying on it for heat, so downtime isn’t an issue.
3. Preventative Care: Small issues can escalate into costly problems if left unattended. A summer check-up can identify and fix minor wear and tear before it becomes a major headache.

Essential Autumn Fixes for a Winter-Ready Stove

At Glowing Embers, we stock all the crucial components you might need to get your stove back in tip-top shape.

Is your stove door feeling a bit loose, or are you noticing a slight draft? Worn-out seals are a common culprit, leading to inefficient burning and smoke leaks. Our high-quality Fire Rope by the Metre is the ideal solution for replacing old, brittle door seals. It’s easy to cut to the exact length you need, ensuring a perfect, airtight fit that will keep your stove burning efficiently and safely. We also sell kits including rope and adhesive together.

Perhaps a stray log or accidental impact has left your stove glass cracked? Don’t compromise on safety or the mesmerising view of the flames. Our Stove Glass Made to Measure service is designed to provide you with a perfect replacement. Simply provide us with the dimensions, and we’ll cut a new piece of high-temperature resistant glass, restoring clarity and safety to your stove.

And what about those internal components that take the brunt of the heat? Over time, the fire bricks lining your stove can crack or crumble, impacting efficiency and potentially damaging the stove body. Our Fire Bricks Cut to Order offer a tailored solution for replacing these vital insulation components. Just send us the dimensions, and we’ll provide durable, custom-cut fire bricks to ensure your stove retains heat effectively and operates at its best.
