It was time to replace the Fire Bricks in my 10 year old Salisbury 5 wood burner. I received a most efficient and professional service just as it use to be in the 1960's. The replacements came within... See more

Forgot to place my order

Forgot to place my order. Had to chase several times. Appalling customer service. For a high end product with a high end price very disappointing

Dear Ms Eddison this does feel like a very harsh review and not fully reflective of the circumstances surrounding your order. Our team also felt we were very generous in relation to the promotion and the timing of your order. We are obviously are very disappointed however that you feel this way. We want customers to ultimately feel happy

The Chesney I purchased is brilliant

The Chesney I purchased is brilliant. I would give it 5 star performance. I was less than impressed at being hassled by solicitors for the cost of my Chesney ..... which I had to pay for before they sent it! Not only once but twice I received long and demanding letters... something clearly amiss in admin...

Dear Mr Frankish we can only apologise for the issues you had. They were entirely based on an error by a third party and we regret them hugely.

Thanks for the positive review Russell and we can only apologise for any paint issues you are having. I hope that your general enjoyment is outweighing this concern but if you need to discuss with someone please do let us know

Great product

Great product. Delivery took longer than promised and I had to contact the company rather than them letting me know that it would take weeks rather than days to deliver it. However, there was an excellent response to my complaint and the product was worth waiting for.

Sorry for the delay Alison. I promise you we were doing our best throughout 2020 but supply chain issues and so on made things difficult at times. The fact that customers were patient and understanding was really appreciated by the team, at this end. Thanks again and sorry for the delay Very Best MJ

Excellent service

From start to finish - and beyond - the service I received was excellent. Customer service were at pains to understand what I wanted and did not try to tell me what I 'should' have; installation was faultless and when, several months later a problem arose, it was quickly resolved.

Excellent!

Christian was extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Absolutely top class.
I did feel that he was not well supported by his office staff as they took an extraordinary length of time to process a part refund. (Hence the lost star). All got sorted in the end though.
The product we bought - Bellfires stove - is beautiful and the installers - Ignite - were excellent too.
Would recommend.

Thanks very much for the kind words, I will pass on to Christian. I don't know the individual circumstances of your delay but can assure you we have been trying to do our best in difficult circumstances, particularly as the supply chain of our own products and those that we supply on behalf of have been significantly disrupted - Hopefully all good now but apologies once again for the delay. Very Best MJ

Chesneys are one of the market leaders in the UK and judging by the new outdoor BBQ I’ve just purchased I’m not surprised there at the top of the tree. Many thanks Chesneys

Love it!!!!!

We had excellent service from Chesneys after ordering a Garden Gourmet and their white glove delivery was superb. The Garden Gourmet itself is great fun and works beautifully- it throws out an incredible amount of heat and is great for barbecues and cooking. We love it. This was a great purchase and cheered us up considerably during the lockdowns.

Excellent advice

I needed advice and guidance in respect of my electric stove. I received prompt, professional and helpful service by phone which enabled me to order the correct replacement parts and restore the stove to full working order.

I was disappointed that I needed to replace firebricks within two years.
Also the door handle needed to be stripped down and reassembled due to it becoming too stiff.
The stove is also going to need repainting after three winter's usage.

Hi John
we're very sorry that you are disappointed with the performance of your stove. I guess the inevitable question is how much usage it has had? And we presume you have had it serviced annually? Have you spoken to anyone at Chesneys about it? If things aren't working we are always here to help and there are always machines that aren't 100% perfect. that's just inevitable. If we can help, please do let us know, there are direct email options in the Contact section of the website for wood burning stoves.
