Original Styles & Restoration

Fireplace Restoration We have a highly skilled workforce that has an outstanding reputation for carrying out all forms of fireplace restoration and have restored thousands of fireplaces in some of England's finest homes and castles as well as many offices, restaurants and private homes.

Throughout the years many household fireplaces sustained damaged either through constant use or years of neglect. Some of these fireplaces have missing parts, broken sections, cracks, numerous layers of paint, stains/discolouration, fire damaged areas, to name just a few. As a result many fires have become less of a focal point for the room in which they reside with many of them being hidden by boarding or furniture. We can offer a free estimate for the works needed to bring the fireplace back to its former glory.

Our skilled workforce are highly trained at not only restoring fireplaces but at also identifying any existing safety issues that could prove a risk to householders and neighbouring properties. All our site visits are carried out by a member of staff who is Hetas safety registered and will talk through any safety issues with the client. We can also arrange camera inspections of Flues if it is needed as well as flue safety treatments and chimney reconstruction.
