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

I reported to Chesney that the spares I had received for my Shoreditch log burner were wrong. Sent photos and they corrected the order and sent me free replacements instantly. Thank Rehmana and Nichol... See more

Heat and Grill

Great Service, great product!
I got in touch with Chesneys, because I couldn´t find a supplier in Germany. From the start the contact was courteous and very helpful. Everything went absolutely smoothly.
The Heat and Grill is well manufactured with these little details, which underline, that someone has put a lot of thoughts in it.

World class service

I'm a resident of Spain, where currently there is no local representative of Chesneys. After a couple of emails, customer service worked out a quote and logistics for shipping the product abroad. A few weeks later, a Heat & Grill found a new home in Spain. Amazing service!

Just 3 days before Christmas

Just 3 days before Christmas, the top firebrick of my Chesney Beaumont broke & fell into the fire. In a panic I rang Chesneys (Chris at Battersea) who was most helpful and I ordered the new part that same day.
It was sent out that same evening at 7pm and reached me in the morning post. I was over-the-moon delighted and Christmas was saved!
Full marks to Chesney's customer service.

Excellent purchase and professional…

Excellent purchase and professional service from delivery and sales teams, unfortunately due to purchasing my barbecue late in the season I have been unable to use it yet but looking forward to next year when the days get lighter and warmer.

We wish we had not chosen a Chesneys stove or had any dealings with Chesneys

We had a Chesneys gas wood burner stove fitted over 12 months ago and it is STILL not working. The after service we have received from Chesneys is absolutely unacceptable, they haven't even been out to check the safety of this gas stove. We have just had 8 days without electricity and one of our reasons for choosing a gas wood burning stove was to give us some heat during the power cuts that we sometimes have in this area, unfortunately what should be a welcoming focal point in the room is stone cold and unfit for use. The glass goes black in minutes and the acrid smell is unbearable. If it is turned off for a few minutes then tried again the stove will not even light. We understand that it has been difficult for many businesses over the last 18 months but we have been very fair and extremely patient although we wish now that we had not chosen a Chesneys product or had any dealings with Chesneys.

Hi there we are very sorry to hear about this. I have asked the trade, retail and customer services teams if they recognise your circumstances but at present we are not able to identify you from the story you have told. So that we can try to help to escalate the situation and find solution for you, do you think you could email us with your details on marketing@chesneys.co.uk As soon as we hear from you I will try to get to the bottom of this for you.
We are of course very sorry that you are not happy and will try resolve this for you as quickly as possible Very best MJ

Want a BBQ for the summer buy Kamado don't choose Chesney

I have purchased from Chesneys before and always happy with the product especially the Shoreditch Wood Burner we purchased in November 2020.
We then purchased a Heat and Grill in April 2021, promised we would get it for summer, turns out after many pleas to get it for my husband's birthday in May, my son's birthday in June, family wedding in July we are now being told possibly the end of August . . .
The communication has been extremely poor from the company with no reassurance if the warranty starts from date of purchase or delivery, as this makes a huge difference. Requesting summer delivery for this out door product, Chesney's retaught is " that its an all year round product" but who barbeques their Christmas lunch?
I am very disappointed as seventeen months on from the pandemic, the company blames it inadequate service on Covid and Brexit. . . really?
We are on the verge of cancelling as we have seen the Kamado Red wood grill which is fantastic looking has many more features, is similarly priced and available for delivery tomorrow. We also like the look of the Green Egg similar spec but far cheaper.
To sum up the Chesney product is great, the communication poor, customer care non-existent, the delivery "whenever" please learn from us-
think before you buy.

Hi there and thanks for your review
We are very sorry for the delays and fully accept that you are hugely disappointed. It has been an awful period and while you clearly do not believe it, one we have tried to negotiate honestly. When delays have come they have come unexpectedly and we have been left in the unfortunate position of trying to explain them to you our customers.
While we accept you wish to harm our business by referring people elsewhere there are just 2 points I’d like to make.
1. We do take exception to your suggestion that Covid and Brexit are not affecting wait times. They remain central to our issues and have caused material price increases of between 40 and 200% and transportation inflation (from China in particular) of nearly 400%. We are not lying however hard you find it to believe
2. It’s great that you have found alternative models that you like but just in case anyone else were to misunderstand the other machines you are referring to are only cooking appliances and not dual function heater BBQs
We are very sorry for your annoyance and we completely get it. We deserve it. But I promise you we are not lying and not incurring delays for any unspoken reasons.
Sorry again

Great product and all teething issues sorted.

I want to give a 5 * review as this product (Clean Burn) is a great addition to your outside living. Customer services dealt with my issues in a friendly and satisfactorily way. The lead in time was more than expected and the delivery company not only let me down but let Chesneys down. And whilst that is something they can pick up and improve on i did feel it unfair to criticise Chesney for this. So to sum up the unit is now with me and is and excellent well made product and Customer Services are there doing a great job to resolve any issues.

Superior Quality

I’ve shopped around many fireplace companies and have been buying from Chesneys for a number of years now.
Their product range and quality is far superior to anyone else.

Over promising but under delivering

Not impressed by constant delays in fulfilling my order which was made in March 2021. I purchased through another company who say that there is nothing they can do as Chesneys are over promising but under delivering. I have been given three different delivery dates, all of which have been cancelled at the last minute. Not good enough.

Thank you for your comments and apologies again for the delays. We understand that you must be very frustrated. There is very little we can say in mitigation that I’m sure your dealer hasn’t told you already about the delays caused by Brexit and product shortages in Europe and so can only apologise again. We too have felt totally powerless at times with our suppliers letting us down but understand that this will give you very little solace.

Marble fireplace

We wanted an elegant quality fireplace for our listed home. We did our research and very pleased to have chosen Chesnys. Everything superseded our expectation and most delighted with the end result.

The Astonishing Heat and Grill

Our Heat and Grill arrived in March 2021 and we are delighted with it. Superb build quality, easy to light, burns very clean and it throws out a tremendous heat. Our friends and family have been astonished by it. Just be warned - your guests will not want to leave!
