Local smoke control rules

Smoke control in Weston-super-Mare

Defra’s smoke control map does not currently show any smoke control areas in North Somerset. Rules can change, so check with North Somerset Council before choosing a stove.

Without smoke control rules you can burn dry wood in any stove that meets current standards. Choosing a Defra-exempt, Ecodesign stove keeps your options open if smoke control is introduced later, and it burns more cleanly.

Why homeowners choose a stove

Why people in Weston-super-Mare are choosing a log burner

A real focal point

A stove gives a room a natural centre, and the warmth of a real fire that many people find hard to beat.

Heat where you want it

A stove warms the room you are using, so you can turn up the heat in the evening without heating the whole house.

Warmth in a power cut

A wood-burning stove does not need electricity, so it can keep a room warm if the power goes off.

Cleaner modern stoves

New stoves must meet Ecodesign emission standards, so they produce much less smoke than an open fire or an older stove.

Bring a fireplace back to life

Many period homes have a blocked-up fireplace that can be opened up, lined and fitted with a stove.

Fitted safely

A registered installer checks the chimney, hearth and ventilation, fits a carbon monoxide alarm and certifies the work.

Local advice

Fitting a stove in Weston-super-Mare

Many Victorian terraces and villas in Weston have chimneys that can be relined for a stove, but flats and newer estates often have none. Coastal conditions are worth discussing with your installer.

In England, a stove installation must meet Building Regulations (Approved Document J), which covers the flue, hearth, air supply and carbon monoxide alarm. A HETAS-registered installer can self-certify the work; otherwise it needs approval from North Somerset Council building control. Either way, you should receive a certificate for the installation.

Useful to know

Log burner questions in Weston-super-Mare

Is Weston-super-Mare a smoke control area?

Defra’s smoke control map does not currently show any smoke control areas in North Somerset. Rules can change, so check with North Somerset Council before choosing a stove. Check your exact address with North Somerset Council before you buy a stove.

Can I use any stove in Weston-super-Mare?

Any stove that meets current standards can burn dry wood where there are no smoke control rules. A Defra-exempt Ecodesign stove is still worth considering: it burns more cleanly and keeps you covered if smoke control is introduced later.

Can I install a log burner without a chimney?

Often, yes. A twin-wall insulated flue can be routed through the building or up an outside wall. The route, clearances and terminal position need to be assessed for your property.

Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?

Yes. A carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the room when a new solid fuel stove is installed. Your installer will specify the right alarm and position.

What wood should I burn?

Dry wood with a moisture content of 20% or less. Look for the Ready to Burn logo, or season your own logs for at least two years. In England, wood sold in quantities under 2 cubic metres must be certified Ready to Burn.

Do you cover Worle and the surrounding area?

Yes. Our installers cover Weston-super-Mare and nearby areas including Worle, Milton, Locking. Enter your postcode in the form and your enquiry will be matched with installers who work near you.
