Can anyone recommend somebody French or English who can fit a woodburner, must be registered in France.It's a poelle a bois so we want the tube from the top of the fire into the chimney and also the tubing that goes up the chimney fitted,also does anyone have an idea how much this should cost.
There is a chap who works in a stove shop in Chateau du Loir (but who lives in Le Mans) who would do it. We got a quote from him, he seemed very thorough but expensive. However, he is right in your area, very experienced, and registered etc. There is also a showroom with a huge choice of fires at the shop. We finally got the job done by a shop in Briouze (near Flers). We are 20 kms east of Alencon and he came out to us but I don't know if he would come as far as Le Mans. However, he quoted a much better price for the exact same spec and did a fab job. The price depends on which woodburner you choose although I can tell you that the chap from Chateau du Loir quoted loads more for the double insulated tube than the other man (for the exact same tube).
We have the fire mossie so it's just the cost of fitting the tube and an idea of the price for fitting and materials we would like,just to make sure we don't get ripped off!!
