FAQs

What type of patio heater is best for a small UK garden?

A wall-mounted electric heater. It takes up no floor space, provides instant heat, and costs less to run than gas in the UK.

How much does it cost to run a patio heater in the UK?

An electric 2kW heater costs about 60–70p per hour at current UK electricity rates. Gas heaters cost roughly the same depending on the bottle price.

Are fire pits allowed in UK gardens?

Yes, on your own property. Use a fire pit mat to protect your patio, keep it away from fences and sheds, and check local smoke control zones.
