It was time to replace the Fire Bricks in my 10 year old Salisbury 5 wood burner. I received a most efficient and professional service just as it use to be in the 1960's. The replacements came within... See more

Heat & Grill is well made and as described

Heat & Grill is well made and exactly as described and arrived on time. Marked down from a 5 in that the "white glove" installers knew little more about the device than we did and were really just a delivery service and the smokeless operation is a lot less smokeless than expected even with kiln dried wood. Cooking is however a lot more controlled than a conventional barbeque.

Superb Clean Burn Stove

I received my Clean Burn stove in good condition and well packaged. The stove is of excellent quality and the performance is stunning. It really is clean burning. I only use kiln dried logs so there is very little smoke.

The only issue I had is with the delivery company. I was given a delivery date but the delivery company delivered the wrong and empty box! They did however, deliver my stove the following day. Chesneys were very helpful in getting this issue resolved quickly.

I would highly recommend this stove. It is expensive, but the build quality and performance is excellent.

Clean Burn Outdoor Stove

The Clean Burn Outdoor Stove we ordered arrived ahead of the long delivery date which was a nice surprise. The stove itself is absolutely fantastic. It burn better than the wood burner we have indoors which cost 4 times as much. We are delighted with the quality and functionality.

Recently bought a clean burn from this excellent company. It’s the best thing we’ve bought for a long time. Throws out so much heat and easily controlled - so easy to light. Great for this difficult time when we all have to entertain outdoors whatever the weather. Customer service is excellent and was delivered before we were expecting it Highly recommend

We are simply writing an honest and accurate review in the hope of helping others.
We loved our stove it looks good and warmed our room brilliantly however We did not buy a throw away item we purchased a stove that we were told was quality and would last at least 20years which is why we paid more, what we are left with after only 7 years is a very expensive ornament.
My advice is don’t assume that because you use a recommended reputable company that use an experienced qualified gas fitter that your fire will be fitted professionally or safely.
Do not have your fire serviced by the company who fit it they are unlikely to point out they have done a bad job.
Do not allow the Chesney gas engineer into your home it is not a gesture of good will he is coming to convince you that their company and suppliers are not responsible and persuade you not to Perdue this further.
It is this behaviour and unprofessionalism that gives company’s a bad name not honest reviews.
I hope this advice helps other people.
All we wanted was honest help and advice and a reasonable resolution.

I’m afraid we will have to ask for these reviews to be removed. This is the 3rd separate review that you have left relating to a fire you bought from a now defunct dealer of your choice.
Your inability to accept your own responsibility for care is both a bad example to set and dangerous for you.
You have not had your gas fire serviced since 2014, have not bothered with a carbon monoxide monitor the entire time.
To now attempt to deflect from your own published and clear responsibilities by blaming us is reprehensible and the publishing of 3 separate reviews verging on defamation.
We can only advise all other buyers to buy a carbon monoxide monitor and to have your appliance serviced regularly.

Chesney great product great service

Chesney make great products and their customer service is excellent. I have had my log burner for 6 years and its as amazing. I recently ordered a new grate and it arrived damaged by the courier I called them and the replacement was with me the next day. Stuart was an absolute star.

Faced with a tricky fireplace project…

Faced with a tricky fireplace project in the lower ground floor of a London townhouse, I turned to Chesneys. They and their installer went above and beyond at every stage, even though the project turned into something which was way more painful than originally anticipated by any of us (challenges with an old house). I would recommend them extremely highly for a great product and superb service.

I have to say that I like the product but not the service! I ordered two items for our wood burning stove. Originally told the items would be with us within the week. Then it was out of stock. Then it had arrived in stock and “it would take a couple of days to get sent out, should be with you by the end of the week! So te two items have taken nearly 4 weeks to arrive. What has angered me is the matter of fact attitude of it will arrive when it arrives, no hurry or rush to get the product out quickly or assist. The product is sold as a premium product but with with less than premium service.

Hello David and thanks for posting your review. Obviously very sorry that you were not happy with the the service. We do take issues like this very seriously and have been discussing internally the merits of allowing customers to order products that are out of stock this morning, as while it may not be convenient to be told you can't order, it might have at least managed your expectations better. We are very sorry that this was frustrating for you. Spare parts are a constant challenge for us, being so hard to manage stock levels and anticipate demand.
Certainly the member of the team that spoke to you felt that he really had tried to be helpful and had said he would do what he could to speed things up, but with precision metal parts it is very difficult to make things go faster. Either way we are very sorry that it came out other than intended.

I purchased the Chesney Heat and Grill 3 weeks ago and I have to say it is an absolute fantastic piece of kit. I was initially nervous ordering it as its a big financial commitment. However it is superb. The heat it gives off is brilliant. I have used it to cook pizzas. Top marks. Also easy to clean. I strongly recommend. It has transformed the use of my patio. You can sit for hours in the warmth and it is a focal point for socialising.
