Charnwood Dry Stoves
Charnwood have been manufacturing Charnwood Stoves, the modern closed combustion fireplace (woodburning stove), for a period spanning 5 decades. They are a family-owned business—A J Wells & Sons Ltd as the parent company—with a well-established reputation for excellence, honesty, and integrity across Europe, North America, Oceania, and Southern Africa. Their manufacturing ethic is firmly rooted in the use of quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Also, their factories are all sited on the Isle Of Wight (click here for video). As a result, they employ local labour and utilise close to 100% British manufactured raw materials. This is unlike other ‘British’ manufacturers who outsource their labour and materials from other parts of Europe.
This drive for excellence has won them the “Queens Award For Enterprise” and they proudly comply with ISO9001 and IS14001:2004 on their manufacturing processes. Every stove in their range meets the rigourous ‘CE’ standard (conformité européenne). Refer to our FAQs page for specific requirements to meet this standard. They offer a 10 year warranty on the outer body of the stove (as this type of fireplace is known). Do your homework. You will struggle to find another manufacturer offering the same (we know of only two others).
Over and above this, they adhere to strong ethical values in all their dealings with their customers which makes them a pleasure to trade with! At Charnwood South Africa, we choose to mirror these attributes and are servicing a nationwide network of approved ‘Charnwood’ outlets and installers.
