Stove installation

Clock Blithfield 8 Multi Fuel Stove Upgrade

This project was an upgrade to the Clock Blithfield 8, a substantial multi fuel stove chosen for a larger fireplace and a room that needed a stronger heat presence. The finished installation keeps the character of the stone fireplace while introducing a powerful, controlled and beautifully proportioned stove.

The brief

The existing fireplace has real presence, with textured stonework, a deep opening and a simple mantel line that gives the room a traditional focal point. The Blithfield 8 sits comfortably within that setting because it has the scale and visual weight needed for a larger fireplace.

Clock Woodburners are known for clean styling, strong build quality and practical control, and the Blithfield 8 is designed for rooms where a smaller 5kW appliance would not feel or perform appropriately. It is a multi fuel stove, so the copy for this project should not describe it as electric or gas.

How the project came together

The installation works because the stove, opening and surrounding stonework are in proportion. The larger glass window gives a generous view of the fire, while the understated black body keeps the focus on the flame and the natural texture of the fireplace.

A project like this is particularly useful for customers with an older or larger fireplace who are considering whether to replace an existing appliance. Upgrading to the correct stove can improve both the look of the fireplace and the comfort of the room.

Details worth noticing

The end result is timeless rather than trend-led: a strong multi fuel stove, a characterful fireplace and a practical heating solution suited to a bigger living space.
