Charnwood Stoves FAQ
Grate Expectations is a well-established, family run business. The company has supplied and installed fires, fireplaces, stoves and flues in London and the surrounding area for more than 35 years.
Based on our knowledge and experience, Grate Expectations has built an excellent reputation that continues to be enhanced by the meticulous approach we take with every project.
Our friendly, professional team efficiently manages each order from sale through to installation.
We take great pride in ensuring that each client is 100% satisfied prior, during and following installation of their Fireplace.
Like central heating boilers, gas fires, stoves, and wall heaters, combustion appliances gradually accumulate dirt as airborne particles are drawn in during use. These particulates can affect the ignition of the fire or stove over time.
Additionally, wear and tear on components is inevitable, which is why we strongly recommend annual servicing for your fire or stove. Your dealer or installer can provide guidance and take care of the maintenance.
This also applies to wood-burning stoves. It’s important to prevent the air supply from becoming blocked by ash, which can be managed by the owner. However, cleaning the flue duct is beyond the owner’s scope, and regular chimney sweeping is necessary. The frequency of sweeping depends on how often the stove is used and the type of wood burned.
If you encounter any issues with a fire or stove purchased from Grate Expectations, please contact us with the model's serial number (a ten-digit number found on the nameplate). We will work to resolve the issue promptly.
If needed, we may contact Charnwood for replacement parts (under guarantee), and their engineer may visit your home to address the problem. If the model is still under warranty and has been installed and used according to guidelines, this service will be provided at no cost.
For any questions about our products or services, please get in touch. We will strive to respond to your enquiry as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
