urgent repair for wood-burner

Sue from South Dunedin

My son's house has a wood-burner as the main form of heating. Last year I tried to get the chimney cleaned and we were told it couldn't be done as the plate at the top of the firebox in the wood-burner had warped and needed to be replaced. They said they would need to order the plate and said they would do so but never got back to us. The fire has been increasingly difficult to light and now cannot be lit at all. We urgently need someone who can repair it. Can anyone tell me who to approach to get the work done? Thank you for reading.

This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
