One of our installsMarble and stone surrounds
A new surround changes the whole room. We supply and fit marble and limestone surrounds, from simple contemporary frames to traditional Victorian-style pieces with corbels, together with hearths cut to size. If you have a stove or a fireplace already, a surround can be fitted around it.
Oak beams and brick fireplaces
For a cottage or farmhouse look, a solid oak beam over an opened-up brick fireplace with a stove inside is hard to beat. We open up and square off old fireplaces, line the chamber, fit the beam and hearth and install the stove in one job.
Bringing a tired fireplace back
Many of the fireplaces we see have been boarded over, painted or half-removed. We take them back, repair the opening and brickwork, and fit a stove or a new surround that suits the age of the house. One customer described the result as a “completely transformed room”.
Electric fires
Where a real fire is not practical, we fit inset and wall-mounted electric fires with surrounds to match. No flue or chimney is needed.
Questions we get asked
Can you fit a new surround around my existing stove?
In most cases yes, as long as the clearances to the stove and flue pipe are kept. We measure at the survey.
How thick does a hearth need to be?
It depends on the stove and whether it is a constructional or superimposed hearth. We cut hearths to the size and thickness Approved Document J requires for your stove.
Do you do the plastering and making good?
Yes, the job is finished ready for decoration.
