He installed the burner in good time and offered plenty of helpful information. I would 100% recommend KAL fireplaces" > Source: Mark M (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Kevin arrived to fit our new Gazco emotiv 64 electric fire. He was very efficient and did not stop for breaks. He took away old gas fire and capped gas supply. Left everything clean and tidy. Did a very good job." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "Our experience using KAL for our wood burner installation was excellent from start to finish. We had an outdated gas fire and Kevin ran through all the options to suit our budget. Kevin arrived on time and after taking out the old fireplace we found out that the existing structure was not good enough. Kevin was very cautious and we installed additional brickwork with more structure. After this was done the install was done in a day and now transformed our living room. Highly recommend with a great deal of care given to the install." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) ## Trades Roofer, Gas Engineer ## Services they list _Listed on public sources or the business's own website; check directly that they cover your job before you book:_ - Chimney Relining - Fireplace Surround - Fireplaces - Gas Fire Installation - Gas Fire Servicing / Repair - Stoves Installer - Wood / Log Burning Stoves ## Areas covered _Towns and areas this trader lists serving.

Where we hold a date, the check shows it. ## Before you hire a roofer _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note. That is the classic roofing scam. - Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee, not a vague day rate. - Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed. - A major re-roof must meet building regulations. Prefer a roofer on the NFRC Competent Person Scheme (CompetentRoofer), who can self-certify the work and is vetted and inspected at least twice a year. Check they're listed at nfrccps.com before you commit. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. ## Contact - Phone: 07723 918206 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/kal-fireplace-installations Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
