Wood burning stoves, log burners and fireplaces in Skipton

Skipton sits west of our core Leeds-to-Scarborough corridor, but it is now a deliberate part of the patch: the real Contura 620 barn conversion we completed at Earby proves the kind of Craven work we are happy to take on. The area has the right homes for it too, from stone town houses in Skipton to Dales cottages, farmhouses and converted barns across the Aire valley.

We do not pretend to be Skipton-based. We cover Skipton and Craven when the project suits our survey-first, HETAS-registered approach: chimney lining for older stone houses, twin-wall flues for conversions with no existing chimney, and carefully sized wood burning or multi-fuel stoves for exposed valley homes.

Where cleaner-burning or smoke-control questions matter, we specify Ecodesign-ready, energy-efficient stoves where appropriate and explain the rules in our DEFRA and smoke control guide.

Craven stone rooms often need the base planned with the flue and stove position, so see made to measure hearths in Skipton for the local detail.

We cover Skipton and the Craven places that naturally sit around it: Gargrave, Embsay, Cononley, Cross Hills, Glusburn, Sutton-in-Craven and Bell Busk, out toward Grassington, Settle and Malham. Earby and Barnoldswick sit just over the Lancashire line, but both are historically tied to Craven, and our Earby barn conversion is the proof that this western edge is real coverage rather than a map exercise.

For homes farther back toward Wharfedale, our Ilkley and Menston work shows the same stone-house pattern from the other side of the hills: exposed chimneys, careful sizing, and materials chosen in the room rather than from a showroom shelf.
