Draft Copy

Runcorn is a short drive across the Mersey from the Heatwave showroom at Osnath Works in Warrington. Most customers from Runcorn are with us in around fifteen to twenty minutes via the A533 or the Silver Jubilee Bridge.

The showroom on Lythgoes Lane is open seven days a week with free on site parking. If you are looking for a new fire, stove or fireplace surround and want to see working displays before you commit, this is the most practical option for Runcorn customers.

What You Can See at the Showroom

Osnath Works has a full working showroom with gas fires, electric fires, wood burning stoves, multifuel stoves, media wall fires and a wide range of fireplace surrounds all on display at the same time.

Seeing fires lit and running in a showroom setting is far more useful than choosing from photographs. We keep fires on throughout opening hours so you get an accurate view of output, flame effect and how the product sits in a room.

Current display highlights:

• Gas inset fires and suites across contemporary and traditional styles
• Electric fires including media wall formats and freestanding stoves
• Wood burning stoves and multifuel stoves from Stovax, Gazco, Wildfire and others
• Marble, stone, cast iron and wooden fireplace surrounds
• Made to measure surrounds built at our Osnath Works factory

Fires and Stoves for Runcorn Homes

Runcorn has a varied housing mix. The older parts of town around Runcorn Old Town and Halton Village have Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis, many with original chimney breasts intact. The new town areas built in the 1960s and 70s are more likely to be flue-free.

For properties with a chimney, gas fires, wood burning stoves and multifuel stoves are all viable options. A stove survey before installation checks flue condition and confirms suitability.

Properties without a chimney have good options in balanced flue gas fires, which vent through the external wall, and electric fires, which need only a power socket. Media wall electric fires are a popular choice for open plan living spaces in newer Runcorn homes.

Runcorn falls within Halton’s smoke control area. Solid fuel appliances must be DEFRA approved exempt appliances. All the stoves we supply meet this requirement and we will confirm the details for your area during your visit.

Made to Measure Surrounds

If your property has an unusual chimney breast or an opening that does not match standard surround sizes, our Osnath Works factory designs and builds bespoke marble, stone and wooden surrounds to fit exactly. Bring your measurements and photos to the showroom and we can advise during the visit.
