Description

If you’re after a wood burning stove that delivers both on style and performance, the Mendip Christon 550 Freestanding Stove is a brilliant choice. With clean, modern lines and a large glass window, it offers a striking focal point that doesn’t just look great — it feels great too. Its built-in convection system spreads heat evenly around your room, rather than blasting it in one spot, making it perfect for small to medium-sized spaces. And thanks to its built-in logstore, you can keep your logs neatly tucked away but always within easy reach.

Built from steel and designed to burn wood cleanly, this Mendip stove is both efficient and environmentally conscious. With a 4.4kW heat output and 78.4% efficiency, it makes the most of every log. It’s DEFRA approved and SIA Ecodesign Ready, so it’s legal for use in smoke control areas and already meets the latest emissions standards. The airwash system helps keep the glass clear, so you can always enjoy a full view of the flames.

This is a reliable, wood-burning stove does exactly what you need it to do — keep your space warm and inviting. And with £10 from every sale going to the Woodland Trust, you’ll be supporting reforestation efforts across the UK too. It’s a small way to make a difference, while staying cosy at home.

Delivery - What to Expect

Our standard deliveries arrive via a 10-tonne lorry (similar in size to a bin wagon or fire engine), equipped with a tail lift and pallet truck.
Access must be suitable: solid, level surfaces (no gravel, steps, steep slopes, or grass).
For palletised deliveries the driver will move the pallet to the nearest accessible point, but cannot go over unsuitable terrain or carry goods indoors, though may place them inside a garage if accessible.
If you have narrow gates, restricted access, or other challenges, please let us know in advance so we can make suitable arrangements.
Our free service is a one-man delivery. We recommend having someone available to assist, especially for larger items.
The delivery driver is not able to unpack or install your goods unless this is a service you have selected.

Checking Your Delivery

On delivery of your palletised goods, the driver will wait up to 10 minutes while you inspect the item(s).
Please check your goods before the driver leaves. If there is any damage or the driver refuses to wait, note this on the delivery slip (e.g., “Driver did not wait – damage unchecked”).
For any damage found, mark the delivery note clearly and contact us immediately.

Missed Deliveries

If you miss your pre-booked delivery, a re-delivery charge may apply.
For smaller items sent via courier (e.g., stove glass), the courier will leave a note with redelivery instructions if you’re not home.

Additional Delivery Notes

Accessory items like fitting kits and liner packs may be sent separately via courier on the same day. You’ll receive email confirmation if this is the case.
Delivery times are generally between 9am–6pm, Monday to Friday.
Delivery depots may send SMS updates, but these aren’t guaranteed.

Please DO NOT book installers, plumbers, electricians or other contractors until your goods have been delivered and checked, as delays can sometimes occur beyond our control.
