About the Woodford Lowry 5

Available in three different sizes the Lowry is a great stove at a great price. This lovely little stove is multifuel so can burn wood and smokeless/coal.

A thick steel body and cast-iron door ensure longevity.

The Lowry has a lifetime guarantee on the stove-body. On a stove this price that is quite astounding.

Woodford Lowry 5kw

I recently purchased this stove as a replacement to my old Defra approved multifuel stove. It was delivered on the date agreed by a very helpful delivery driver. The fire included a free stove pipe and closure plate which were good quality and finished off the new installation. The stove itself is brilliant and so much better than my previous stove. The air controls allow good control over the burn and maintain a good stove and flue temperature with the added bonus of using about 60% of the fuel I was using before. The larger glass makes the stove a great focal point in the living room. I would definitely recommend Stovefitters Warehouse and this stove especially at this price with the security of a lifetime guarantee. Order 10805

Body and door

Steel stove (5-year body guarantee) with cast-iron door.

What to buy steel or cast-iron? Do not overthink. Steel heats fast. Cast-iron takes a little longer but retains heat longer as fire dies.

Hearth

Hearth thickness: minimum 125mm non-combustible material (can include floor thickness).

If freestanding outside of a fireplace then this stove can be placed on a 12mm hearth

Hearth regulation advice here

Air gaps

Distance to combustibles SIDE: ?
Distance to combustibles SIDE: ?

To non-combustibles there are no hard rules but, around the stove, a 50mm minimum air gap is recommended to brick/stone. This to be increased to 100mm for rendered or boarded surfaces. Prior to purchasing any stove download the installation manual to check that manufacturers do not have any additional requirements.

Not tested this one as yet but have heard good things from installers and somebody I know has one and says performs beautifully and better than his last two stoves. Review arriving soon.

WHY YOU NEED OUR Exceptional guarantee (6-months even if stove used)

What if I get a lemon? What if I'm unhappy when I unwrap it? What if it does not agree with my chimney?

Chimney and stove not agreeing with each other? Although rare it really does happen and it is usually cured by swapping the stove for another. Why? Who knows? We have had a few stoves that "whistled". When we swapped the stove the problem stopped but when we put the stoves on a different chimney they do not whistle. We have had a few stoves that let smoke into the room when refuelling - swap the stove and the problem is cured. Test the stove on a different chimney and all is well.

Most retailers will not replace or refund if it is a problem with the chimney. You will have to sell your stove yourself (at a great loss as stove second-hand value is very poor) and purchase another.

If your stove's retail price is under £1500: Should you not be happy with your stove for any reason, within the first three months from purchase, we will arrange to have the stove collected from your premises (we pay first £48 delivery collection cost, covers most UK postcodes, you pay additional in rare situation cost rises above £48 for any reason). Stove installed and has been used? No worry. We will pay you up to £100 to have it removed by a Hetas registered installer.

As soon as the stove is back with us we will provide a FULL REFUND of the cost of the stove. We will even post you a pallet and straps as required (you will need to prepare it ready for our driver). This exceptional guarantee lasts for a full three months from date of delivery EVEN IF THE STOVE IS USED as long as normal wear and tear.

Between three and six months, we offer exactly the same but without the £100 stove-removal offer.

On this, you have my word.
