Chimney Repair & Stove Installation in Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's largest city and its most densely populated county, and it represents one of the biggest markets for stove and fireplace installation in the country. We serve Dublin South and the greater Dublin area, taking on projects in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Blanchardstown, Swords, and the many suburbs and villages that make up this vast and varied county. The drive from our Carlow base into Dublin takes around an hour, and we plan our Dublin schedules carefully to ensure punctual, efficient service for every customer.

The single most common type of project we carry out in Dublin is the stove insert — fitting a modern wood-burning stove into an existing fireplace opening in a Victorian or Edwardian terraced house. Dublin has an extraordinarily rich stock of these properties, from the red-brick terraces of Rathmines, Ranelagh, Rathgar, and Terenure in Dublin South, to the older housing stock in areas like Inchicore, Crumlin, and Drimnagh. Many of these homes were built with generously sized fireplace openings and substantial chimney stacks, and they lend themselves beautifully to stove installation. The original chimney breasts and decorative surrounds can be retained while a new stainless steel liner is dropped into the existing flue — the result is a room that gains all the efficiency and ambience of a modern stove while keeping its period character entirely intact.

Dun Laoghaire and the coastal suburbs of south Dublin — Dalkey, Killiney, Shankill — have a concentration of larger Victorian and Edwardian detached and semi-detached houses with multiple chimney stacks. We are regularly called to these properties to install stoves in secondary reception rooms, kitchens, and home offices where homeowners want additional heat sources beyond the central heating system. In these larger properties, a 5 to 8 kilowatt stove provides a perfect zonal heating solution that the whole family gravitates towards in the evenings.

In the more modern suburbs of Tallaght, Blanchardstown, and Swords, many homes were built without chimneys or with pre-fabricated flue systems. For these properties, we offer twin-wall insulated flue installations that allow a stove to be fitted even where no traditional chimney exists. Whatever the property type in Dublin, we have a solution that works.
