Fireplace installation costs range from £64 - £242 when you book the service through Airtasker. Fireplace repairs will sometimes cost less than this, while major installations will often cost more.

Yes. If you’re installing a wood burning fireplace or wood heater, you’ll need a chimney installed as part of the service. Make sure you confirm this with your technician when you book on Airtasker.

Yes. Gas and electric fireplaces don’t require chimneys as they don’t produce smoke. Different types of modern fireplaces are also available, such as ventless gas fireplaces and ethanol fireplaces. Choose the fireplace design that suits your home and have a Tasker install it for you.

You don't need a licence to install wood burning fireplace. However, it's better to hire a professional to get the job done, especially if you're installing a gas fireplace. A professional service also helps you ensure quality workmanship and a safe installation. 

Fireplace installations can take as little as 4 hours for an electric fireplace and up to one week for a wood fireplace installation. Complex masonry work may require more time and effort to get your fireplace installed.

This depends on what your priorities are, whether aesthetics, heat, efficiency, or convenience. Wood heaters offer great heating efficiency compared to the alternatives, while a wood fireplace is a classic look, and gas/electric are generally low-maintenance options.

What does fireplace installation include?

Fireplace installations include help with any of the steps involved in setting up your fireplace, from choosing your heater to installing your chimney. And fireplace repairs include all sorts of tasks, like fixing a tile, unblocking your chimney, and repairing a door hinge. The exact inclusions will depend on the type of fireplace or heater you choose, but the most common ones are:

Wood fireplace installation

Traditional fireplaces are built into your home’s structure, so the process of installing or repairing a wood fireplace or chimney is often quite involved. Your handyman will build around your fireplace unit, using timber, plasterboard, stone, bricks, and other materials to form the structure. They’ll set up a suitable chimney system based on the airflow and thermal dynamics in your building. They’ll tightly seal this to prevent smoke from coming back inside your home.

Wood heater installation

Your installer will start by positioning your hearth (usually made from brick, ceramic tile, or concrete) to provide a firm, safe base for your wood heater. Next, they’ll install your unit, connecting the flues (inside and outside, on your roof) to carry the smoke outside of your home.


Gas fireplace installation

Once you’ve chosen the best gas fireplace for your space (whether against a wall, built-in, freestanding, or inside your existing fireplace structure), your installer will help organise gas. If you don’t already have gas service to your place, they’ll arrange the connection or gas bottle delivery. Next, your fireplace installer will assemble all the parts, including the unit and flues. They’ll cut holes to place the flues through the ceiling and roof, ensuring all gaps are tightly sealed to prevent leaks and damage. Then they’ll connect up your gas and test your newly installed fireplace.

Electric fireplace installation

Your electric fireplace installer will start by plugging in and testing the fireplace to make sure it works. Then they’ll cut a wall opening to fit your fireplace. Next, they’ll connect up the power supply (you may need a licensed electrician for this step). Then it’s time to lift the fireplace unit into the wall opening before securing it into the wall studs with screws. Finally, they’ll install any decorations (like logs) that come with your fireplace and install the front glass panel.
