With wood burner installations rising across the UK, more Cardiff homes are booking annual maintenance and safety checks.

Alright, let's talk wood burners. You've got one. Or maybe you're thinking of getting one. They're warm, they're cosy, they cut down on heating bills—and let's be honest, they make your living room look fantastic.
But here's the thing no one tells you until it's too late: That beautiful wood burner of yours? Could be a serious fire hazard if you're not getting it professionally serviced every year.
Imagine this—you're sitting by the fire, everything seems fine... until you start smelling something off. It's not the logs. It's creosote. And if that stuff builds up in your chimney? It's highly flammable. That's how chimney fires start.
Since 2022, the number of UK homes with wood burners jumped from nine-point-four percent to ten-point-three percent. That's hundreds of thousands of households—many of them first-timers—who may not realise just how risky it is to skip their annual service.
If you live in Cardiff or anywhere nearby, Hopkins Log Burners has your back. They're a family-run team, fully OFTEC-certified, and they've been helping Welsh homeowners keep their stoves safe, clean, and running like new for years.
Servicing isn't just about safety—it's about efficiency too. Without proper maintenance, your burner works harder, burns more wood, and gives you less heat. Hopkins' expert engineers check everything—flue health, carbon monoxide risks, airflow, fuel efficiency—you name it.
And listen to this: According to the Stove Industry Alliance, wood logs are 74 percent cheaper per kilowatt hour than electricity and 21 percent cheaper than gas. But you lose those savings real quick if your stove's clogged up or out of spec. Plus, some insurance policies won't pay out for fire damage unless you've got proof of professional maintenance. Yeah—read the fine print.
So if you want to cut your heating bills, keep your home safe, stay covered by insurance, and make your stove last longer, now's the time to book your annual service with Hopkins Log Burners. Call them at 0 1 7 9 2 9 4 9 6 3 9.
