Flue & Chimney Systems
New flue kits, re-flues and full chimney systems — stainless flue, flashings, rain caps and cowls that draw cleanly and seal tight against Northland weather.
A wood fire is only as good as its flue. Premium Fires installs new flue kits and complete chimney systems, and re-flues existing fires and old masonry chimneys across Whangārei, Bream Bay and south to Kaiwaka. That includes stainless cowls and rain caps, and weather-tight flashings for both tile and metal roofs — so the fire draws cleanly, burns hotter and stays sealed against Northland weather.

Every install is done to NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918 for solid-fuel appliances — correct clearances, shielding, hearth and flue. Luke also takes care of the building consent and council requirements for you, so the whole job is handled from start to finish.
Wood fire installation cost depends on the fire you choose, the flue length and your roof type, and whether any old fireplace needs removing first. Because every home is different, Luke gives a free on-site quote rather than a guess over the phone — a clear, itemised price for your space. Call 020 4127 9826 or send a message to book a look.
Yes — installing a wood fire or solid-fuel heater in New Zealand needs a building consent under the Building Act 2004. Luke handles the consent application with the Whangārei District Council as part of the job, so you don't have to manage it. Every install meets NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918, which is the standard the council assesses against.
Give Luke a call or send a message and we'll arrange a free on-site look. We'll talk through the right fire and flue for your space, then put a clear, no-obligation quote in front of you.
