Fireplace register grate rusting within months

We bought a Campbell register grate and Flitcroft fireplace at a cost of nearly 10k. Initially we were told that the register grate would take 14 to 16 weeks. We actually had to wait 7 months. Within two months of installing the fireplace, the register grate is rusting quite badly. Obviously it is cheap steal from China and not stainless steel. Avoid this company that just imports cheap goods.

Dear Mr Jones,

Further to my email to you yesterday I just wanted to follow up on a couple of points.

The Campbell register grate is fabricated from mild steel and just to be clear, we don’t suggest anywhere that we are using stainless steel.

We sell mild steel products without any issues, and they don’t rust unless they are cleaned using water or left in a damp unheated environment for a prolonged period, which I am sure was not the case in your property. This something that we draw attention to in the manual relating to these products as contact with water will lead to rust appearing.

As I said in my email to you yesterday, if you can provide us with photographs of the rusting, our metal worker can look at it, and we may be able to advise remedial works to address the problem.

I acknowledge that there was a delay in delivering the grate to you and would once again take the opportunity to apologise for this.

We work hard to meet the timelines that we give to our customers but in this instance I’m afraid that we fell short.

Please let me know if we can be of any further assistance.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Nicholas & The Chesneys Team

World class service delivery

I don’t often leave reviews, but the exceptional service I received from Chesneys—especially from their employee, Rehmana—deserves recognition. What started as a potential issue with my order quickly turned into one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Not only was the problem resolved, but the entire experience left me feeling valued as a customer. Chesneys is lucky to have someone like Rehmana on their team—she transformed what could have been a hassle into a shining example of how customer care should be done.

Very bad quality

Dear Sylvia,

As explained in my email and on the phone yesterday, the fire bricks inside the chamber that are starting to fail are consumable components that will degrade over time- even more so in an outdoor product such as yours which is exposed to the elements. As explained in my email, from the images I have seen the fire bricks still have some life left in them and do not yet need replacing.

I would kindly request that this review is modified or removed as we do not feel it is an accurate representation of the product.

Kind Regards,
Stuart

Well Done Chesneys!

My Chesney Stove developed a fault in the Firebox after 5 years fairly gentle use and Chesneys have been incredibly helpful and bent over backwards to put the problem right. They’ve supplied and fitted a brand new stove under warranty and I can’t fault the service they have provided. 5 star!

I bought my first Chesney fire many…

I bought my first Chesney fire many years ago when they first launched, and it’s been an incredible addition to our outdoor space ever since. I was such a fan that I later purchased the XL model with a stand — another great product.

However, over time the XL started to deteriorate inside, and eventually the side hinge door fell off. I had bought it through a retailer rather than directly from Chesney, but I still reached out to their team — and I’m glad I did.

Stuart from Chesney went above and beyond. No questions asked, he sorted everything out and, as a goodwill gesture, even replaced the fire for us.

In today’s world, true customer service often feels like a thing of the past — but not with Chesney. Thanks to Stuart and the team, this is a brand that still puts its customers first.

Huge thanks,
Damian

We’re thrilled to hear your original fire has been a cherished part of your outdoor space, and that you upgraded to the XL model.

We’re sorry the XL unit had some issues—but delighted to hear Stuart could address this immediately for you and go above and beyond. We have passed along your praise and appreciate your kind words.

Please do reach out to us should you need further support or for anything else you need in the future!

Nightmare and waste of money

We've had a smaller Chesney Salisbury before and it was largely good quality and lasted about 3 years before the seal ropes started coming off. After moving house we bought the same model but bigger and had it installed beginning last year and it is an absolute nightmare. The ropes came off after a couple of months, the handle keeps coming loose and because I have to take the door off every time the rope comes off to glue it back on, the upper hinge has now come loose too. What an inferior product for a superior price. Never again!

Pray you don't need any spares

If you buy a Chesney fire, pray it doesn't need any spare parts after about 10 years. I've just been told my fire is now useless as they no longer stock a spare part I need. Considering the vast cost of these, I would expect better support. Im now left facing the huge expense and upheaval of replacing the entire thing.

Other suppliers I've checked with say 15 years of support is the norm

I have used my fire Chesneys fire a lot in the last 10 years, so decided to treat myself to replace all the internal parts, the delivery of parts from the third party supplier was slow until Stu from Chesneys got involved, he sorted it straight away, separated the deliveries and supported me through video during the removal of the door mechanism. He kindly send a couple of glass fibre seals (a part I had forgotten to purchase) as next day delivery. Stu you were a godsend thank you. My faith in Chesneys has been restored.

Smoke pours from under the pit when lighting

We've had several solid fuel fires in different houses and on two narrowboats so when we moved into our new home, we wanted a real fire.
We got the Chesneys Milan wood burner and it's the worst fire we've ever had. When it burns correctly it's good but the number of time's I get smoke pouring out from under the fire when I light it is diabolical. I wish I'd never heard of Chesney Milan
The only difference between this fire and the others we've had, this one is a wood-burner and the others we've had were multi fuel burners that we burned mostly wood.
The only other fires we had smoke in the room was on a narrowboat and that was nothing at all like what we suffer with this one, and those cost a fraction of the price of this one
I've given two stars because when it burns correctly it's great, but when we get this smoke in the house, it's down and out dangerous.
We've had this fire fitted professionally on 2/12/25 and we only burn kiln dried wood

Unreliable and unsafe

Unfortunately not the Chesneys experience we had expected or hoped for. It’s the coldest week of the year and once again I have been advised not to use the fire through safety concerns! The smell of gas is quite scary and very unsettling.
We had a bio ethanol stove first installed over a year ago. We have since been through 3 units due to various faults (the first unit wouldn’t even fill up let alone switch on!!!). A year after install it was exchanged for a gas stove. I was assured they are more reliable. Since that was installed 4 months ago we have had various parts changed and are still suffering with problems. Huge soot build ups and the fire keeps going out and/or flames turning bright blue and a strong smell of gas. I have been told not to use it as they are not sure what the problem is or how to fix it. We now have a 2 week wait for an engineer to visit and conduct an assessment. Feeling hugely let down and wish we had never brought it in the first place. Total waste of time and money and we can’t see a way out of this mess.
UPDATE:
an engineer came out to fix it and we were up and running for all of ten days. Getting the same issues again. Runs for 20mins then the flames turn blue and it shuts down. E01 carbon monoxide or our third thermocouple failure. I’m heartbroken. Another Christmas and no fireplace.

I would highly recommend Chesney’s for both their product and their customer service.
I would like to make particular mention of Rehamana and Stewart who both went the extra mile to ensure that my questions were addressed completely and provided me with comprehensive advice.
My experience of the company and their staff was faultless.

Good customer service approach

We moved into a property with a Chesneys stove and it was soon disconnected after our gas engineer discovered a part that needed to be replaced. Chesneys didn't have any stock of the part but made a new one for us. They were quite slow at updating us on what was going on and I did have to chase quite a lot but they made up for it by making and delivering the part for free which was very appreciated. Everyone we dealt with was lovely and we now have a working fireplace again 🙂
