The Art of Stove Restoration: Quality That Lasts a Lifetime
Elms Burners is a dedicated family-run workshop based in Dover. We specialise in the meticulous restoration of classic and modern stoves, serving homeowners across Kent and the South East.
About Elms Burners
At Elms Burners, we believe a quality wood burning stove deserves a second life.
We're passionate about restoring, refurbishing and repairing wood burning and multi fuel stoves, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern workshop techniques to bring tired, worn or damaged appliances back to their best. Whether it's a well loved family stove, a vintage cast iron model or a modern log burner, every restoration is approached with the same care and attention to detail.
Based in Dover, Kent, we work with homeowners, landlords, fireplace installers and businesses across the UK, offering everything from routine servicing and repairs to complete workshop restorations.
More Than Just a Repair
Unlike a simple on site repair, our full workshop restorations involve completely dismantling the stove before it is professionally restored. Each appliance is thoroughly inspected, industrially sandblasted back to bare metal, repaired where required and rebuilt using quality replacement components, including ceramic glass, fire bricks, rope seals and internal parts.
Where replacement parts are no longer available, we can often fabricate bespoke components, allowing many discontinued and vintage stoves to be restored when others would consider them beyond repair.
Bespoke Finishes
Your stove doesn't have to go back to black.
Using premium high temperature coatings, we can refinish your stove in a wide range of 30 colours, from traditional Matt Black to contemporary greens, greys, creams and metallic finishes. We can even paint individual components in contrasting colours, creating a truly bespoke stove that complements your home and reflects your personal style.
Working With Leading Stove Brands
Our workshop regularly restores and repairs stoves from many of the UK's leading manufacturers, including Stovax, Gazco, Charnwood, Clearview, Morso, Jøtul, Hunter, AGA, Esse, Arada, Dovre, Parkray, Villager, Fireline, Mendip, Ekol, Burley, Chesneys and many more.
Whether your stove needs a simple repair, replacement glass, a complete refurbishment or a full cosmetic transformation, we're here to help.
