Yes, all free-standing and inset stoves need to be on a non-combustible hearth. We can use an existing hearth if you have one in place, and provided it meets the appropriate safety standards, or supply and install a new hearth of your choosing. The thickness of the hearth will depend the specifications of your stove and the material used for the hearth, e.g. slate, granite, concrete, toughened glass etc.
If you want to place your stove nearer to a wall that the manufacturer’s specified minimum clearance distances, we can also install a suitably sized and finished non-combustible fire-shield surround.
