Can You Install a Stove in a Conservatory or Extension?

Introduction

Conservatories and extensions are popular home upgrades, but they often struggle with heating. A wood-burning stove seems like the perfect solution—but is it possible to install one safely? The answer is yes, but there are important factors to consider.

Key Considerations

1. Flue Route – Glass roofs and lightweight walls often require an external twin wall flue system.

2. Building Regulations – Clearance distances, ventilation, and hearth requirements must be met.

3. Insulation – Conservatories lose heat quickly, so a stove may not retain warmth for long without upgrades.

4. Installer Expertise – Always use a HETAS-certified installer for compliance.

   
   

Best Solutions

• Twin Wall Flue Systems – Ideal for extensions without chimneys.

• Internal vs External Routes – Internal retains heat better, but external may be the only option.

• Smaller DEFRA-Approved Stoves – Often better suited for part-time spaces like conservatories.
