Hi there,

I'm looking to rent my house out and was thinking of removing my wood burning stove as it's one less thing that could potentially go wrong or worry about. I'm probably looking to sell in a few years time so would want to keep in storage / in garage and put back in. Anyone recommend a good way to do this - or perhaps board up the fireplace instead ?

Thanks,
D

Leave it in.

£50 a year to have it swept.

Definitely a feature to attract tenants and buyers.

If you board it in you risk condensation in the wood burner and therefore rust.

If you take it out and back in you have two lots of labour and it will be at least £250 each time.
