About these terms

These terms govern your use of LogBurnerCost (https://logburnercost.co.uk). By using the site you agree to be bound by these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.

Calculator accuracy and liability

The cost calculator returns an estimate — a banded range of likely UK installed costs based on the inputs you provide and our calibrated model. It is not a quote. It is not a binding price. Actual installer quotes will vary based on factors we cannot see from your inputs (chimney condition, structural complications, local market dynamics, etc.).

The model has not yet been calibrated to a representative set of completed installer quotes, so we do not claim a measured accuracy tolerance. We cannot accept liability for differences between an estimate and actual installer pricing.

We do not warrant that the site, the calculator, or any content is error-free or always available. Where we can be liable to you in law, our total liability for any matter arising from your use of the site is limited to £100.

Installer matching

When you submit the installer matching form, we pass your email, postcode, and scenario to up to three HETAS-registered installers in your area. We do not control:

  • What price the installer ultimately quotes you
  • How quickly the installer responds
  • The quality of the installer’s work or service
  • Any contract or agreement you enter into with the installer

We vet installers for current HETAS registration before adding them to the matching panel. We do not warrant their financial stability, business conduct, or specific work quality. Any contract for installation is solely between you and the installer.

If a matched installer behaves badly, please tell us — email contact@logburnercost.co.uk. We’ll investigate and may remove them from the panel.

Compliance, regulatory, and product information

Information about Building Regulations Part J, Smoke Control Areas, DEFRA Ecodesign rules, HETAS requirements, and product specifications is provided in good faith based on our research of UK government, HETAS, and industry sources as of the “last updated” date on each page. Regulations and product specifications change — verify the current position with the relevant authority (gov.uk, HETAS, the manufacturer, your installer) before making any decisions.

We are not a regulator, certification body, or licensed inspector. Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice or a regulatory opinion.

Product links and recommendations

The site currently contains no paid or affiliate product links. If commercial product links are added, they will be disclosed clearly beside the affected link and on the relevant page.

Brand and stove model recommendations across the site are based on warranty, regulatory position, owner sentiment in r/DIYUK and UK forums, and dealer support — never on commercial relationships with manufacturers. We do not take payment from stove brands for editorial placement.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Submit false postcode or contact details
  • Use the calculator or matching form for any purpose other than your own UK installation research
  • Scrape, copy, or reproduce site content systematically without permission
  • Attempt to circumvent any security or rate-limiting measures
  • Use the site in any way that breaches UK law

Intellectual property

All site content (text, calculator logic, layout, brand recommendations) is © LogBurnerCost. You may quote short extracts with attribution and a link back. You may not reproduce substantial portions without written permission.

HETAS, DEFRA, and brand names referenced on the site (Clearview, Charnwood, Hunter, Stovax, Aarrow, Arada, Morsø, Jøtul, Contura, Esse, etc.) are the property of their respective owners. Use of these names is for descriptive editorial purposes only.

Privacy

Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes arising from your use of the site fall within the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when our practices or applicable law change. The “last updated” date reflects the most recent material change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
