Why Choose Sandpits


SANDPITS, SCHIEDEL & SPECFLUE

We understand the excitement of having a new stove fitted into your home with the selected stove being chosen for its looks and the warm flame pattern it gives when alight. But with every stove there has to be a flue system. In truth it’s the piece of a stove installation nobody really wants and there can be a tendency to go for a lower priced option as out of sight is out of mind.

The truth is the flue system is integral to both the performance of your stove and keeping you and your family safe from carbon monoxide poisoning. The installation of the flue is also critical to ensure it is safe and there are no potential fire hazards.

Sandpits have collaborated with the UK’s two leading flue companies, Schiedel, a manufacturer of premium flue systems along with Specflue a specialist flue distributor.
