Mr Soot Hiring Amid Surge in Service Demand
Mr Soot Chimney Sweep is firing up for another record-breaking year, launching a major recruitment drive with two exciting opportunities now open: Trainee Chimney Sweep and Chimney Sweep & Solid Fuel Installation Technician. The North West company, which also operates the Mr Soot Training Centre, has seen demand for its services surge to unprecedented levels, fuelled by homeowners investing in efficient heating solutions and the business’s growing reputation across the region. “Demand right now is absolutely off the scale,” said David, Managing Director of Mr Soot. “We’re forecasting another record-breaking year ahead, and we need more great people to help us meet it. It’s an exciting time to be part of our journey.” The two new positions reflect the company’s dual focus — supporting experienced technicians looking to advance their careers, while also creating an entry route for newcomers eager to train in the trade. “We’ve grown rapidly over the past few years, but it’s been through steady investment in people and quality,” added David. “The Trainee Sweep role is a brilliant opportunity for someone with the right attitude to learn, while the Experienced Technician post suits someone already skilled who wants to join a company that genuinely values professionalism and career growth.” Both roles offer full-time, permanent employment, competitive pay and benefits, and the chance to work across Wigan, Manchester, Liverpool, and Cheshire. Perks include a company vehicle, private medical cover, pension scheme, 33 days’ holiday including your birthday off, and paid professional training through the firm’s own accredited training centre. With continued investment in people, equipment, and infrastructure, Mr Soot is cementing its position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing names in the chimney and solid fuel industry. “We’re building something that lasts — not just a business, but a brand people trust,” said David. “The growth we’re seeing now is just the start.” Applications are open now via our Careers Page with recruitment ongoing throughout October.

Wood Burning Stoves vs. Smoking: A Misguided Comparison
Recent press coverage has claimed that wood burning stoves “damage lungs in a similar way to smoking cigarettes.” The Stove Industry Association (SIA) believes it is important to set the record straight.These headlines stem from a presentation made at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam. However, the abstract of the research presented does not state what the headlines suggest. In fact, the study is primarily about mapping who uses solid fuel appliances and where – drawing on census data, property records and health surveys. Its own preliminary analysis reports that solid fuel users actually had higher baseline lung function, and it concludes by calling for “quasi-experimental methods” to properly understand health impacts in high-income countries. It does not present a causal link between stove use and lung damage, nor does it equate stove emissions with cigarette smoke. The comparison with smoking is misleading and risks confusing the public. Cigarettes deliver concentrated toxins directly into the lungs, many times a day. By contrast, modern Ecodesign-compliant stoves are sealed appliances with a chimney flue that vents emissions outdoors. When installed and operated correctly with dry, Ready to Burn certified wood, indoor emissions are minimal and cannot be equated with inhaling cigarette smoke. It is also important to distinguish between appliance types; something the research takes no account of. Modern Ecodesign stoves, which are independently tested against strict efficiency and emissions standards, are shown to emit up to 90% less particulates compared to an open fire. Since January 2022, all new stoves sold in the UK must comply with Ecodesign requirements, and in Smoke Control Areas, only exempt appliances can legally be used with wood. Consumers can also look for the clearSkies certification mark, which provides an independent “seal of approval” that a stove meets or even exceeds these standards. Best practice matters too. Using only Woodsure Ready to Burn certified logs (with less than 20% moisture content), having stoves installed by a HETAS or OFTEC-registered installer, sweeping chimneys regularly, and following manufacturer guidance on refuelling are all proven steps to keep emissions low and efficiency high. Wood fuel, when used in this way, remains an important renewable, affordable and resilient heating choice for many UK households – particularly as a complement to non-combustion systems such as heat pumps. The SIA welcomes rigorous research into air quality and health. But it is vital that findings are represented accurately and that the public is given clear, practical information. Modern, correctly used stoves cannot be equated with cigarette smoke, and suggesting otherwise is misleading. (Image courtesy of Adobe Stock.

New Research Reveals the Power of Ambience in British Homes
From cosy living rooms to the ritual of lighting a fire, creating the right atmosphere and ambience is central to how we live, relax and connect at home. A new national survey of 2,000 UK adults commissioned by leading fireplace and stove specialist Percy Doughty has revealed just how important ambience is to British homeowners. The majority named their living room as the cosiest space in the house, with more than half admitting they’d rather light a fire than switch on the central heating to create the right mood. The study found that 83% of Brits see the living room as their ultimate comfort zone, rising to 92% among over-65s. By contrast, younger people are more likely to prioritise the bedroom, with almost three-quarters (72%) of 18–24-year-olds and two-thirds (66%) of 25–34-year-olds voting it their cosiest space. The bathroom emerged as a niche choice for younger adults, with 12% of 25–34-year-olds opting for it, compared to less than 1% of those over 65. Interior design expert Rachel McShane of Rachel Anne Interior Design comments on the findings: “I’m not surprised the living room comes out top. People instinctively want a space where they can relax, gather and feel calm. A layered mix of lighting, soft textures and a focal point like a fire instantly turns a living room into the cosiest spot in the house.” Regional contrasts: bedroom vs living room divide The research also uncovered some striking differences in regional preferences. In the North East, nearly nine in ten (87%) list the living room as their top priority, the highest in the UK. Homeowners in Northern Ireland leaned strongly towards the bedroom, with 68% selecting it as their cosiest room, compared to just 29% in the North East. Meanwhile, Londoners stood out for their varied tastes, with almost one in ten (9%) saying the dining room was their top cosy spot, and a similar proportion (10%) picked the bathroom. Rachel added, “It’s interesting to see how regional habits are quite different. In the North East the living room dominates, whilst in London it’s the bedroom, reflecting different size spaces and lifestyle patterns.” Fires over thermostats When it comes to creating atmosphere, more than half (59%) of households said they’d choose to light a log burner instead of switching on the central heating, with younger adults the most enthusiastic. Over three quarters (78%) of 25–34-year-olds confessed they’d choose to switch on the fire over the thermostat, compared to just 34% of over-65s. The rationale goes beyond warmth alone. A third (32%) of respondents said that cosy nights in at home evoke happy memories and traditions, while many also associate a fire with creating a welcoming focal point and a sense of comfort that central heating cannot provide. “The pull of lighting a fire is timeless,” said Rachel. “It creates atmosphere where central heating can’t. For younger households in particular, log burners are not just about warmth – it’s about the experience and overall ambience of the home.” Modern flame technology on the rise The survey also found that 57% of Brits have bought or considered buying a gas or electric fire. Londoners lead the trend, with nearly three-quarters (72%) embracing them, while Northern Ireland tops actual purchases (42%). Younger generations are driving demand, with over 70% of under-35s saying they’ve bought or considered one. “The growing interest in gas and electric shows how important a fire is in creating atmosphere,” Rachel explained. “Today’s electric fires are incredibly realistic and versatile. They can bring the look and feel of a log burner with less upkeep.” Percy Doughty Autumn Ambience Campaign This autumn, Percy Doughty is launching its Autumn Ambience Campaign, designed to help homeowners make the most of their indoor spaces as the clocks go back and the nights draw in. As part of the campaign, Percy Doughty is partnering with leading interiors expert Rachel McShane of Rachel Anne Interior Design. Rachel will be working with the brand to provide practical hints and inspiration for enhancing the mood of our homes during the cosiest months of the year – from layering lighting and textures to making the fireplace a true focal point. How to Create Cosy Autumn Ambience at Home: Rachel’s Autumn Interior Calls for 2025 1. Layer your lighting – Cosiness is all about mood lighting. Combine main lighting with table lamps & floor lamps, alongside candles and the glow of a fire for depth and softness. 2. Add warm texture rich accessories – Throws, rugs and cushions in boucle, velvet , chenille or quilted textiles, this will instantly create warmth. 3. Make the fireplace a focal point – An electric fire can be ideal for Autumn/winter, giving instant warmth and visual cosiness. 4. Bring in nature – A big trend for autumn/ winter 25. Evergreen branches, seasonal foliage or dried flowers connect indoors with autumn outdoors and add a sense of calm interior. 5. Use scent – Candles or diffusers in woody, spicy fragrances enhance the feeling of autumnal comfort and can offer an insta mood boost in the darker months.

Create a cosy feel this Christmas with a woodburning stove from Mendip Stoves
Christmas is coming along with 3 lovely stoves from Mendip Stoves: When it comes to decorating the home for Christmas, a woodburning stove makes the perfect centrepiece. Whether it’s paired with greenery and garlands above for a mantel effect, stockings at the side awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus, presents bought for family and friends piled high and a stack of seasoned logs at the ready, a woodburner makes a wonderful addition to any living space. A real wood stove not only looks the part but it also provides warmth and comfort on cold wintry afternoons and evenings, too. What could be better after a long day than lighting the fire, putting your feet up and relaxing with a favourite book, box set or festive film? Mendip Stoves has a wonderful selection of woodburning stoves to choose from, available from leading distributor of woodburning, multi fuel, inset and freestanding stoves, Eurostove. The Woodland double-sided woodburning stove Take the Woodland dual control double-sided stove, which is shown above. This modern design complements both classic and contemporary interiors and features large glass panels for a clear view of the flicking flames within. A perfect addition to an open-plan space, its double-sided design allows for a warm and inviting ambience throughout the room, with controls and opening doors on both sides for convenience as well as comfort. The Churchill 8 convection woodburning stove Also great for open-plan rooms or timber-framed buildings is Mendip’s Churchill 8 convection woodburner, as shown below. Its innovative design features a gently curved cast iron door and rounded, heat-absorbing convector side panels, which direct warmth into the room while reducing heat transfer to nearby walls. It also comes with an optional round cast iron cooktop, ideal for boiling a brew or cooking up a hearty one-pot stew. The Loxton 8 dual control woodburning stove For something more traditional, the Loxton 8 dual control woodburning stove shown below combines state-of-the-art combustion technology with timeless styling. Its durable cast iron door and bespoke cast iron grates retain heat for longer and bring an olde worlde charm into the home, ideal for Christmas. This stove also offers the option of a cast iron cooktop. “Mendip Stoves has something for every home this Christmas,” says Chris Baines, Managing Director of Eurostove, “and there’s nothing quite like the crackling sound of real wood logs during the festive season. To dress a woodburner safely, it’s important not to have loose decorations directly near the hot stove and to keep the tree a small distance away, too. Choose non-flammable or flame-retardant materials for festive décor or simply move them away from close contact when the woodburner is lit. Most importantly, have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy the cosy warmth and ambience that a woodburner will bring.” The Woodland is priced £3,000; Churchill 8, £1,834 and the Loxton 8, £1,536 You can visit the Mendip Stoves website here.
Stove Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right Wood Burner for Your Home
Wood burning stove expert, Phil Wood, shares what homeowners should look out for if considering upgrading a fireplace or adding a freestanding stove for an efficient heating solution this autumn-winter Energy costs remain a concern for many households as the colder months set in. Gas and electricity prices are still high, and to avoid exorbitant heating bills, many homeowners are considering alternative options to keep warm this winter. When used and maintained correctly, a wood burner that meets government regulations is a completely viable option for homeowners looking to upgrade an old stove, replace an open fireplace, better heat a living space, or even switch to wood as the main energy source. And for those confused by the choice of wood burning stoves and what might be right for their needs, Phil Wood, UK Managing Director of Swedish stove manufacturer, Contura, is here to help. Phil says: “With cost-of-living still a challenge for many households and forecasts suggesting colder and more unpredictable weather this autumn-winter, homeowners may be looking for reliable ways to stay warm. A modern wood burning stove provides just this, delivering a dependable heat source and unparallelled comfort when the cold becomes too much. “Since 2022, wood burning stoves must be Ecodesign compliant, so all new stoves now meet strict UK and EU standards for cleaner burning and lower emissions. “Modern stoves save both resources and money when compared to open fireplaces. They offer around 80% efficiency compared to just 20% in the case of traditional open fires – convecting and radiating heat into the living space and halving the deemed air loss from a room – whilst less wood is needed to produce more heat – two logs of similar characteristics will burn for up to one hour in a wood burning stove compared to only 15 minutes on an open fire. “A compliant wood burning stove will also significantly reduce particulate emissions compared to an older model or an open fireplace. “After making the up-front investment, a wood burning stove will help save money on energy bills in the longer-term and allows homeowners to take back some control of their fuel supply. “And as well as reducing reliance on central heating, a stove acts as a design statement, offering both practicality and style through the colder months ahead”. Read on for Phil’s guide to choosing the right wood burner for your home. 1. Size & Heat Output When it comes to a wood burning stove, bigger is not always better. A stove that’s too powerful for your space will have you opening windows in midwinter, while one that’s too small won’t provide enough warmth. As a general rule of thumb, a 5kW stove will heat an average living room of around 20m², while 6-7kW models are better suited to larger or open-plan spaces. If in doubt, speak to your local stove dealership or using an online calculator to work out the correct output for your home. 2. Style & Positioning A stove should suit both your space and your personal taste. If you have a fireplace, an inset stove can sit neatly upon a hearth for a more traditional look, whilst a cassettestove can be built into a closed or purpose-built chimney breast for a more modern statement piece.If your home doesn’t have an existing chimney, a freestanding model can be installed almost anywhere, creating a flexible design feature. Taller stoves lift the fire into view, giving the flames more presence and creating a focal point in a room. Wood burning stoves also come in a range of finishes. From classic black cast iron to contemporary sleek white enamel, or even natural soapstone for a traditional Scandi aesthetic with added heat retention qualities. 3. Features Designed to Enhance Enjoyment, Convenience and Efficiency Stove design today goes far beyond delivering a simple black-box style chamber to burn wood, incorporating innovative features and advanced technology to enhance your enjoyment of the flames, improve efficiency, minimise emissions, and make life easier for stove owners. For optimal flame viewing, look for models that include large or wraparound glass panels that make the fire the centrepiece of any room. Silent sliding ash drawers or cool-touch handles ensure cleaner and safer use. Some models benefit from automatic air regulation that adjusts airflow to maintain a more even and efficient burn, whilst smart stoves with app connectivity will even notify you of weather changes and when it’s time to refuel. Be sure to compare features before purchasing to make day-to-day use easier and enhance the overall experience of stove ownership. 4. Considering Different Spaces For smaller rooms, compact inset or cassette stoves are ideal. They fit neatly into an existing fireplace or chimney breast, delivering warmth without overwhelming a room. For open plan living, a freestanding stove works perfectly as it can be placed virtually anywhere, so long as the flue can be connected to the outdoors. Tall glass panels or wraparound viewing panes allow the flames to be enjoyed from different angles, making a great choice for sociable spaces. A cubic cassette design stove built into the chimney breast or a purpose-built wall opposite the seating area will create a mesmerising centrepiece and allow you to enjoy the stress-relieving power of flames in place of a TV. For an underused corner, an elegant, tall cylindrical stove can create a welcoming, cosy zone, and will complement both modern and period interiors. A low model providing floor level flames will be ideal for rooms with low ceilings or for those who love lounging around on the rug – including any furry companions! 5. Budget & Installation The purchase of a wood burning stove can be a significant investment. While some stoves start from around £500, lower-cost options can lack in quality, efficiency and eco-credentials. Investing in a high-quality stove, installed by a professional, ensures maximum performance, safety, and better long-term value. A good benchmark to guarantee quality would be upwards of around £1,000, depending of course on size & output, brand name
Angus council bans stoves in social housing and public buildings
Angus Council leaders in north east Scotland have said they are banning solid fuel appliances and open fires in their own properties, such as social housing. Angus Council, which covers a large area of rural Scotland north of Dundee, has approved a new policy regarding the installation and use of wood burners, stoves, open fires, and other open-flued appliances within council-owned properties and tenancies. Under the new policy:• Angus Council will not normally permit the installation or replacement of solid fuel heating systems in its properties• Each application will be considered on its merits, but the default position will be to refuse requests due to environmental and health risks• In exceptional circumstances, where solid fuel may provide a significantly more cost-effective option than alternatives, an application may be considered following a full assessment and subject to approval.The policy does not apply to private homes, only to council housing and properties managed by Angus Council. The new policy – which is effectively a ban – comes almost exactly a year after the Scottish government reversed its own ban on the installation of solid fuel heating in new build properties. Angus Council’s Housing Committee Convener, Councillor Jill Scott said: “This policy is about ensuring clarity for our tenants in how the council will deal with requests regarding wood burners, stove and open fires in council properties. It does not apply to private homeowners. “While we understand the role of wood burners and open fires, our priority is to provide safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible heating for our tenants.” You can visit their website here.

Europe’s leading wood burning stove manufacturer, Contura, launches a new stove collection this autumn: Contura 900 Style series is the ‘big brother’ to the brand’s most popular and award-winning stove series, 800 Style. Contura 900 Style builds upon the much-appreciated design and technology of Contura 800 Style, adding a larger format, new features, and more generous glass panels. Offering greater flame visibility, the glass door and side panels on Contura 900 Style are larger than in any of Contura’s previous models, making the fire the star of the show.

Designed with heat exchange technology, facilitating the extraction of more energy from the wood, the 900 series also provides a more efficient heat source whilst also reducing emissions. In the taller 900 Style models there is also room for a Powerstone, which stores (and emits) heat for longer. In a first for Contura stoves, the 900 Style series features an all-new Bypass Function (BPF). When opening the door, a bypass damper opens, which captures the smoke and reduces the risk of it entering the room. Other functions and features of the 900 Style series include: Contura 900 Style comes in several colours, materials, sizes and heights, and with integrated open or closed log boxes, catering to different tastes, spaces and needs. Homeowners can choose from classic black, a contemporary grey, crisp white, or soapstone – with unique, natural veining. Contura 900 Style is also available with or without glass side panels. “The 900 Style series provides a bigger and improved version of our best-selling stove collection – the 800 Style – and with the latest fire combustion technology,” says Phil Wood, UK managing director at Contura. “This new series is ideal for those looking for more flame visibility, and with so many different variations of stove in regard to size, height, colours, glass panels, and log box options, stove owners will benefit from a truly customised appliance to fit their space, style preference and heating needs.” Features, specifications, availability & pricing: Contura 900 Style Low Contura 900 Style High Positioning Freestanding Fire visibility Large front and side glass panels Log box Yes (open or with door) Materials Cast iron and steel with soapstone option Dimensions Up to 1,145mm H Up to 1,620mm H Net Weight 108-188kg 130-240kg System efficiency class A+ Combustion efficiency 84-85% Maximum log length 40cm Heat capacity Up to 150 m2 Heat output 6 kw Price From £2,895 From £3,295 All Contura stoves meet Ecodesign regulations and are Defra Clean Air Act exempt, which means they are approved for use in Smoke Control Areas.
