Testimonials

Kate and Kev are a dream team – we’d been dreaming of a logburner for many years and when we found these guys locally, with great reviews, we were so pleased. Kate and Kev both provided really helpful, honest advice, were easy to communicate with and just seemed to have such amazing knowledge and integrity – we trusted them completely from start to finish. We couldn’t believe how easy and fuss free the whole process was made – installation was quick booked in and so straight forward. We are thrilled with our new burner and cannot thank the team at Likelogs enough for everything.

Kev and Kate were a pleasure to deal with at every stage. They installed a lovely Burley Launde stove for us in the midst of a global pandemic, and despite all the additional restrictions and difficulties that imposed they could not have been more straightforward and helpful. They gave great advice on which stove would fit our fireplace, and worked in a COVID-secure way that really put us at our ease. Kev and Brad arrived exactly when they said and worked tidily and very efficiently. When some unexpected issues arose during the installation, Kev sorted them out quickly with no fuss and was careful to ask and explain the situation before incurring any additional cost. Really happy and would heartily recommend Like Logs to anyone.

“I have no hesitation in recommending Like Logs Ltd who have just installed my log burning stove excellently and for a reasonable price.  I had an existing old stove that I did not know whether I could still use.  Kev gave me professional advice as to what can be installed these days and luckily my existing stove was Defra approved and could be properly installed.  I had three visits in all: a survey, installation of the liner and then final installation of the stove.  At all times Kev and Brad were efficient, very clean and very professional.  I was also given realistic expectations of when the stove could be installed during their very busy winter season.  Many thanks to Like Logs Ltd.”

We had a log burner installed by Likelogs this Autumn. I just wanted to thank Kev and Kate for their all round professional service. From the initial enquiry,  site visit and then the installation works, the team from Likelogs were efficient, considerate, knowledgeable and always available for advice with selection of stoves, finishes to the fireplace etc. We are so happy with the final results. It has transformed our living room from being a neglected space to the hub of the household.

I would highly recommend Likelogs for anyone’s stove project.

We got a recommendation for Like Logs from our neighbor and we are so happy we did! The whole team has been amazing to deal with, from Kate to Kev and Brad that made sure all work is done to an outstanding detail and with great pride and craftsmanship. We are in love with our stove, hearth choice and simply the whole process of getting a wood-burning stove in our flat. Thanks so much for all the great work – Like Logs team!

 

Thank you,

Deyan, E7

 

 

Kate & Kev have been great to work with from start to finish. As total amateurs in the stove world they were really helpful and patient as we chose tiles/stoves and asked for advice along the way. There was a hiccup with the stove supplier sending an incompatible one in error, despite this not being his fault Kev was happy to come round another day to install once the correct one had been delivered. Really happy with the end result, can’t wait to use it. thanks again!

 

Phil, E9

 

 

From making initial contact with Kate and the subsequent site visit by Kev, it was clear that we were in safe hands with Like Logs. Now our stove has been installed, we couldn’t be happier with the results. Kev’s workmanship has been exemplary, transforming a dusty old blocked fire opening into a lovely focal point of the room. Kev and Kate have offered plenty of helpful and informed advice along the way, and have been a pleasure to deal with.

It was such a pleasure working with Like Logs. Communication from the start was great. They arrived early, worked really hard, were polite and finished the work to a high standard, what more can you ask for! Kev talked me through everything really clearly and came up with some clever ideas too. Really respectful, diligent workers, would highly recommend. I’m so happy with my new fireplaces.

 

Emma, E10

 

Thank you Kevin and Kate for your professional service. You communicated with me throughout and completed the installation quickly.

The stove looks wonderful and all this with me 5000 miles away. Great job!

 

Carolyn, E5

 

We cannot recommend like logs enough; Kev and Kate offered us a personalised, flexible and affordable service. Kev really knows his stuff when it comes to all things log burners. He patiently answered our many questions and helped us to arrive at the best design for us; deciding between exposed bricks / painted enclave… tiled or stone hearth… and helping us navigate the world of log burners. Kate even found us a gorgeous log burner with the spec we needed saving us £800 compared to the one we almost bought.

This small family run business provide a service you can trust, we have recommended them to friends, and would use again without hesitation.

 

Hannah and Siôn, E10

 

 

We’re super pleased with the stove and the installation, Kev did a fantastic job! We will be in touch again when it’s time for the chimney sweep, so until then! :)

Alice, RM11

 

 

I’m REALLY happy with my log burner / stove! Despite a complicated instillation (living in an end of terrace flat with half fake chimney breast), somehow, Kev managed to get everything done over 2 days as promised! Great experience all round – 100% would recommend.

Max, E5

 

 

“Like Logs provided us with a fantastic service; from the confidence inspiring initial quotation visit from Kev who clearly has a passion for safe and responsible wood burning, right through to the quality of the workmanship an final finish. I would highly recommend them to undertake stove installation and fire-place surround finishing work.”

Excellent service from Kev and Kate.   Efficient, friendly and helpful.   The stove looks great and was fitted with care and precision.  Left work for the day and it was all done when we got back!

Highly recommended.

-  Like Logs is great, Kate, Kev and Josh are all absolutely lovely to work with.  All building work was done very professionally with a lot of consideration to the house as well as our dog.  We had some unexpected additional work to be done, which was handled very quickly, which was really appreciated.  Highly recommend!

 

Suzan, E14

 

 

We’re really pleased with the finished result and you guys have been completely efficient, professional, and communicative throughout. There were quite a few options and decisions to make along the way but Kev expertly guided us – very grateful for his help! We’ll definitely be recommending you to friends and family, and we wish you both all the best.

 

Many thanks again,

“I was very happy with the service provided. Kev was professional and clearly explained every step, which meant a painless process for all of us. I also got some good advice on which stove to buy, which was very useful. I certainly recommend Like Logs.”

 

Many thanks

Dear Kate and Kev,

 

Thank you so much for installing the stove. We are so pleased with the final result. Kev was really thorough, talked through the options that we had, ensured everything was super safe and the attention to detail in the installation of the stove was incredible. Kev even went above and beyond and sorted out the skirting boards around the opening, making the final finish look amazing. Thank you all for being so patient with us too when we changed our minds on the design a few times. The team were an absolute pleasure to have around and left the living room spotless, even though it’s a really messy job. Kate is fantastic to communicate with and was so supportive throughout the design and installation process. I have recommended you to all of my neighbours, who all now want a stove too!  Thanks again.

 

Best wishes,

 

Francesca Haimes, E10

 

“Dealing with Like Logs was a breeze and a pleasure from the first interaction to the very last. Kate was very responsive and clear in making the various arrangements; Kev clearly knew his stuff and offered sage advice at the start which resulted in an outcome better than I had expected in the end. A lovely Charnwood C5 now sits in my front room within the snug of the now-widened fireplace and a new slate hearth. Issues encountered during installation were easily solved by Kev with a cool head and a tenacious approach. I would recommend Like Logs without hesitation and hope to work with them again in the future.”

All the best and thanks for all the help along the way!

Doug, E15

 

From the initial site visit to the final installation Kate and Kev were extremely professional, Knowledgeable, reliable and a pleasure to work with.

It’s not often these days when you can whole heartedly say that I would thoroughly recommend a company but this is very much the case with Like Logs!

Kev and Tom’s workmanship is of a very high standard, they were respectful of our home and always cleaned up after themselves.

We are extremely pleased with our lovely new Log Burner!

Thanks Like Logs!!

Tim and Bek Cox, E11

 

Kevin is very knowledgeable about his business and we felt like he gave us very good advice about installing and choosing the woodburner.  We are very happy with the work he did, he was very respectful of our home and Kate was very efficient in communicating with us.

We are so happy with our woodburner – it makes our home feel really cosy.  We would definitely recommend Like Logs!

Many thanks for everything.

Vinca, E5

 

LikeLogs were excellent contractors: timely, tidy and careful.  Kate and Kev answered all our questions and went above and beyond to make sure our hearth and stove were in by Christmas (I had forgotten to confirm the materials we wanted for the hearth!).  I appreciated especially that Kev took great care at all times to explain potential problems, and then offered solutions, which was very reassuring.  I recommend LikeLogs unreservedly.

All the best

Amanda

 

We were delighted with the work carried out by Like Logs. Kev and Kate were both very, very helpful with our never ending questions. The installation was a breeze and the end result is great.

Thanks

Matt, Clapton

 

“Excellent service – professional and reliable, clearly experts and care about the quality of their work. Would recommend them without hesitation!”

 Claire – Leytonstone

 

Kev and Kate at LikeLogs are awesome!

Kev went above and beyond the call of duty… in addition to installing our lovely new Charnwood C4 stove he remodelled both fireplace openings in our open-plan space prior to installation and made good afterwards like a true pro.

We were initially drawn to LikeLogs due to the beautiful examples of previous work displayed on their site, Kev’s attention to detail and keen eye for aesthetic didn’t disappoint. Roll on winter!

Eva and Brendan, Walthamstow E17

 

I would absolutely recommend Kev and Like Logs to anyone considering getting a wood burner installed. I found Like Logs online and they had fantastic testimonials, and a soon as we met Kev we were more than confident in him and so didn’t feel the need to get any other quotes.

Kev and Kate were a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process and explained everything really well, as well as recommending the best sort of stove for us to get. Everything was spotless after Kev first prepped our hearth and then installed the stove. We both had to work when the stove was being installed but had no issues whatsoever with leaving Kev with our spare key.

The stove looks amazing and I’m just annoyed that we’re in the middle of a heatwave now!!

Thanks so much,

Olivia & Andrew, E10

 

It is pretty simple: If you want your stove or fire done properly then get Kevin to do it. Kevin gave us perceptive advice and explained the issues in a sensitive and tailored way. He carried out the work promptly, cleanly and within budget. Kev has a passion for his work and is clearly a master of his trade – that is important when it comes to something as potentially lethal as a fire. The results are first class: The stove looks brilliant and has really made winter a joy. I have not been so pleased by an inanimate object for years.

Many thanks.

Guy (Hackney)

 

Recreating two small hearths and fitting wood-burning stoves into existing fireplaces in a tiny old cottage in Spitalfields was no small challenge, but I am happy to say that Like Logs have fulfilled this splendidly, with great efficiency, sensitivity and intelligence. I would recommend them unreservedly to anyone contemplating such a venture.

Paul Godfrey, Spitalfields

 

We are delighted with the woodburning stove that Like Logs have installed for us. The installation and the work done to remove the old fireplace and tile the new one is of a very high standard and was carried out cleanly and efficiently. Kev provided all of the information and guidance that we needed in order to choose the correct stove and how to operate and maintain it. We would highly recommend Like Logs and look forward to those cold winter months.

Cheers

 John Garlick, E17

 

Dear Kate and Kev,

I just wanted to drop a note to you to say thank you for all your help and assistance with fitting our woodburner. We really appreciate all the advice and guidance that you gave to us about choosing the right woodburner. We were really impressed with how quickly and efficiently you fitted the burner, including fitting the chimney pot on a very windy day – thank you!

Like Logs were a pleasure to deal with and we would have no hesitation in recommending you.

Thank you for initiating us into the wonderful world of woodburner ownership!

Hannah and George 

 

I was thrilled to be directed to Like Logs by my friends. Just like them I am now the proud owner of a wood burning stove. The service has been brilliant from  first meeting Kev to waving goodbye at the end.  Everything was explained fully before starting the work especially the pitfalls as we didn’t have a lintel. Kev and Tom worked non stop and always cleaned up thoroughly before leaving. I highly recommend them.

Sally Pascall

 

I have to say I’m delighted with the fire and part of me wishes the weather wasn’t starting to heat up, I’m looking forward to winter already.  Many thanks for all the advice and the hassle free installation.

Susanna, Clapton

 

Like Logs installed a flue liner into an existing installation. They were very conscientious to work to the highest HETAS standards and advised how I should alter my installation.

They were very respectful and made very little mess considering the work carried out. All of this at a lower price than other quotes!

I highly recommend Like Logs.

 

Jeremy Cassidy, Seven Sisters.

 

I have been delighted by the service provided by Like Logs.  The installation went very smoothly, with our new stove up and running in a day.  Kev and his colleague took great pride in the quality of their work. I have not hesitation in recommending Like Logs.

Luke, N16

 

‘Like Logs were super efficient and helpful in creating a beautiful and modern log burning fire and surround for us. There is no doubt they know what they are doing and I felt very happy in such experienced hands. Kev and Kate make a great team and i would happily recommend them without reserve”

Thanks again for everything

Danielle Edwards, E17

 

Like Logs were the second firm to survey our home for the installation of a wood burner and it was immediately evident that we had the right people and did not need to look  further. The advice was clear, informed and communicated with a passion that was very positive. The quote was lower too. When the day came Kevin and Tom were efficient in everything they did, protecting our home before they started and doing the work with a minimum of fuss. What a brilliant job ! Looks great, works fantastically. We thoroughly recommend Like Logs to anyone who wants a warmer home this winter.

Graham.

 

Kevin – thank you so much for doing such a fantastic job. It really does look superb and has changed the feel of our whole house. The fire works a treat. Just a shame we haven’t got room for another fire somewhere else in the house.

Paul Crossley

 

I found Like Logs to be very professional and reliable, they always responded to my emails.

Kev was very experienced. He did an excellent job installing our new log burner and I was very confident of his experience and knowledge. He didn’t cut corners and I felt secure in the his knowledge and experience and that my new log burner was going to be fitted to a very high standard and to a high level of safety

Julie

 

It has been burning near constantly since finished, it’s wonderful.

We’re confident that no one else would have done as good a job! It seemed as though the whole process was motivated by Kev’s love of wood burning stove being the heart of the home. He cared that the finished product was as safe, efficient and the highest standard of craftsmanship possible.

Awesome job, thanks again.

We wanted to say a big thank you. We can’t recommend Like Logs highly enough. Having found you on the Internet you exceeded our expectations on every level. And our cold sitting room has been transformed!

Please feel free to quote us!

Kev came to visit us to advise on installing a log burner into our Georgian home.  We already had an idea of the type of log burner that what we wanted,  but Kev asked us to consider another option.  I am so pleased that we did.  We decided on an Elgar C13.  It has completely changed the atmosphere in our home, the house is so snug after an hour of being lit.  The installation  job wasn’t as straightforward as we had hoped,  Kev found a joist had been rammed into the chimney cavity,  but he took this in his stride and got the issue sorted without any fuss.  The room had been freshly  decorated shortly  before the installation, but everything was  covered and there was no need to re decorate afterwards, they were very clean.

It was a breath of fresh air dealing with Kev and Kate. Very rarely do you find people who take ownership of a job, and just get it done,  which is exactly what they did,  and on time.  I can’t recommend the services of “like Logs” highly enough.  I have recommended them to many friends.   My 5 year old Labrador is also very grateful to Kev for installing the Log burner.

We had 3 or 4 quotes for installing a wood burning stove. Kevin from Like Logs was the first and best. The pricing was extremely competitive, but what really clinched the deal was his professionalism, background knowledge and passion for wood burning stoves in general.

He recommended a stove that suited our needs perfectly. We are really pleased with the result- a great addition to our home and such a beautiful looking investment! Kevin not only reassured us safety-wise with his depth of knowledge, but was polite, on time, efficient and incredibly clean and diligent in his work.

We’ll  be recommending LikeLogs to our friends and whomever will listen to our new interest in this renewable energy. I now have a new hobby… collecting wood! Much more fun than paying those hefty gas bills.

Chris and Katy- Highams Park

 

Kev did an amazing job fitting our Charnwood CFour, his artistic eye and attention to detail really made the difference. Kev worked so hard to get all our preparation done on time, happily coping with unexpected developments. Kev was a joy to work with, very punctual and polite. we would recommend Like Logs highly. Thanks Kev…

Pete and Jen – Clapton

 

We are really pleased with our woodburner – which was fitted with minimal fuss and works brilliantly! Got very good advice on what kind of stove to get to make it work in the very small space we have – and it’s made this winter far more enjoyable…

Katharine – Clapton

 

Kev recommended a stove that fits in my room perfectly. I am so pleased with it, it looks beautiful and my formerly cold living room is now lovely and very warm. The work was done efficiently, cleanly and with a very good finish. The pricing was very reasonable and Kev’s passion was inspiring.

I am recommending LikeLogs to my friends and all who will to listen to me going on about the joys of a wood burning stove!

Anna – Holloway

 

When Kev turned up for a site visit he was polite, enthusiastic about stoves and I could tell he has an artistic eye. I didn’t bother getting other quotes as I knew he understood what I wanted aesthetically and I was at ease with him working in my home.

Like Logs could install any stove I wanted as they don’t sell stoves, but they do help with recommendations. I have never looked back, my stove really is the heart of my home. I light it as soon as get in from work. Thanks so much Kev and Kate.

Beth – Walthamstow

 

Like logs were great. Kev took care of the whole process, from ripping out our old gas fire to fitting a new hearth and plastering the chimney breast. Our stove is ace we love it. Getting the stove is only step one the fun doesn’t stop there… Kev managed to convince my wife that I needed to buy a chainsaw and axe (Kev even helped me with this…he loves it) now I have the best time sorting out my logs.

We don’t Like Logs, we love them.
