EmberCraft in Whitstable

Cottages, conversions & coastal homes.

Whitstable's housing has bags of character: period weatherboard cottages and former fishermen's homes around the harbour and the Island Wall conservation area, Victorian terraces, and larger Edwardian and modern properties up on Tankerton and along Joy Lane. We match the fire and the flue to the home, whether that's reopening and lining a period chimney in an old cottage or fitting a balanced-flue or flueless gas fire where there's no chimney at all.

Wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves are hugely popular in Whitstable's older cottages. They suit the character beautifully. We handle the chimney lining or twin-wall flue, the hearth and the HETAS certification end to end. For renovated and open-plan homes, a media wall or a sleek living-flame gas fire makes a striking centrepiece, with concealed cabling and a niche built around your room.

Coastal homes bring their own considerations, including salt air and exposed flue terminals. After 30 years on this coast, we know how to specify and finish a job that lasts. We're Gas Safe registered, fully insured and just along the coast from our Deal base.

Good to Know

Your questions, answered.

Can you fit a wood burner in a Whitstable cottage chimney?
Yes, it's one of our most common jobs here. We assess and line the existing chimney (or fit a twin-wall flue where needed), build the hearth and certify the installation to HETAS standards, all done sympathetically to the property.
My harbour-side home has no chimney. What are my options?
Plenty. Flueless and balanced-flue gas fires are made for exactly that, and a media wall with a built-in gas or electric fire is a popular, dramatic alternative. We'll survey the room and talk you through what suits.
