Chimney Repair & Stove Installation in Wicklow

County Wicklow is a county of extraordinary variety — from the bustling Dublin commuter towns of Bray and Greystones along the coast, to the wild upland landscapes of the Wicklow Mountains National Park, to the quieter market towns of Wicklow Town and Arklow in the south and the inland village of Baltinglass perched on the Slaney. This diversity is matched by the range of properties we work on throughout the county, and it is this variety that makes Wicklow one of our most interesting and rewarding service areas.

The northern strip of Wicklow, taking in Bray, Greystones, and the Kilcoole area, has seen rapid residential development in recent decades as Dublin's commuter belt has expanded. Many of these homes are modern detached and semi-detached properties where homeowners are looking to add a stove as a lifestyle feature — a focal point for the living room that also delivers real backup heating during the increasingly cold winters this part of the country experiences. For these properties, we typically recommend clean-lined contemporary stoves in the 5 to 8 kilowatt range that complement open-plan living spaces.

Contrast that with the rural heartland of the Wicklow Mountains — the areas around Roundwood, Laragh, Glendalough, and Tinahely — where traditional farmhouses and stone cottages have been heated by open fires for generations. In these upland and exposed locations, a high-output multi-fuel stove is not a luxury but a genuine necessity. Winter temperatures in the Wicklow Mountains can be harsh and prolonged, and the efficiency gains from converting a leaky open fire to a sealed stove can be dramatic. We have installed stoves in some very remote properties in these areas and understand the access and logistical considerations involved.

The towns of Wicklow and Arklow on the coast have their own character — a mix of older terraced properties, pre-war semis, and modern developments. Many of the older homes here were built with chimney stacks but have seen their fireplaces blocked up over the years. We carry out chimney inspections and reinstatement work to bring these flues back into use, often as part of a full stove installation project. With our Carlow base, we can reach virtually any part of Wicklow efficiently and always aim to offer a rapid, reliable service.
