Will Woodburners be banned in the uk?
No, woodburners and multifuel stoves are not going to be banned in the UK.
​​
Recent news articles have suggested that woodburners are going to be banned within the UK which is missleading. New regulations that came into force in 2022 require that all new woodburning stoves have to meet certain environmental standards to help reduce harmful emissions. Any stoves installed before 1st January will not be required to be replaced, however, any stoves installed after that date require, by law, will have been made with an ecodesign system.
​
So, in a nut shell, if you are looking to have a woodburning stove installed you are not going to be forced to have it removed, all the changes means is that the manufacturer and fireplace installer will have to ensure that your chosen multifuel or woodburning stove meets the required regulations.
