DEFRA on Open Fires and Woodburning Stoves

18/2/2018

 
There has been a lot of talk recently in the media about the use of wood burning appliances and open fires. I am often asked if the Government are going to ban wood burning stoves or open fires, and I see some customers quite concerned over these speculations.

In a latest publication from DEFRA they state “We are not considering banning domestic burning. The Government recognises that many households have installed wood-burning stoves, and the Government is not seeking to prevent their use or installation. But we are keen to encourage consumers to switch to cleaner wood burning, this will directly benefit consumers in their homes, as well as improving the local environment.”


DEFRA are currently seeking evidence from businesses like ourselves within the industry and data on the use of solid fuels such as house coal, smokeless coal, manufactured solid fuels and wet wood for domestic heating. The Government’s long term strategy is to see households move away from these polluting fuels towards cleaner technologies.


DEFRA have recently produced a practical guidance to encourage clean burning to the public. Please try to take the time to read this advice.


As you know we do try to encourage the use of good quality dry wood and smokeless fuels, as well as ensuring your appliances and chimneys are regular swept and maintained.


Don’t forget that annual sweep!
