Fireplace Alterations & Preparation
If you have an old open fireplace, a blocked-up chimney or an existing fireplace that isn't suitable for the stove you want, we can carry out the necessary alterations and preparation before your new stove is fitted. Our aim is to provide a properly prepared fireplace that is ready for your new stove, without you having to organise several different trades.

Pamment tiles can give a fireplace a traditional and characterful appearance, making them a popular choice for period properties and more rustic interiors.
Stone Hearths
We can also install stone hearths, providing a robust and natural finish that can complement a wide range of stove styles.
Slate Hearths
Slate provides a natural, timeless finish and works particularly well with both traditional and contemporary stoves.
Start to finish
From Fireplace to Finished Installation
We understand that altering an existing fireplace can be a messy job. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum and take care of the work from start to finish.
Once the necessary alterations have been completed, we remove the resulting rubbish and rubble, recycling it wherever possible. We then leave the fireplace clean and tidy, ready for you to decorate once the installation is complete.
