excellent. let us know when you are a proper hetas wossit then... you could be a useful man to know :)

we got our last stove from Dean forge.. very happy with it.. but still have plans afoot for more in the house.. once we saved... another woodburner upstairs (both of us work from home part of the time so need warmth) and a woodburning rayburn or equiv. just need to persuade himself to sell another kidney and we can move on with our plans :mrgreen:

Yeah will do.

You can install woodburners and solid fuel ranges and have them inspected and signed off by Building Control which is Hetas' way of proving your competant. Thats how I do it at the moment as taking the course and being registered are two different things. You need the portfolio to finally become registered.

Its a long process but worth it as I love installing them.
