Log burner installation cost by UK city

Compare a typical mid-range 2026 installation across all 32 city guides. Each guide shows the regional labour assumption separately from the address-level Smoke Control Area check.

How to compare these city bands

Each city band starts with the same 2026 UK component-cost research, then uses the listed postcode-area multiplier as a regional labour adjustment. The published low and high figures are editorial bands rounded to the nearest £100; they are not live local quote averages.

Standard scope

A mid-range Ecodesign stove, an existing chimney that needs a standard 316-grade liner, a basic hearth and register plate, a CO alarm, sweeping, installation labour and certification, with VAT where the supplier charges it.

Outside the band

Twin-wall flue, scaffolding, structural opening work, chimney repair, asbestos work, premium finishes, listed-building or planning work, and unusual access or travel charges.
