Fireplace Help
Fireplaces come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the houses where we fit them. Therefore it would be very useful if you had some very basic information to hand when you come in to see us.
The main measurement we need is the width of the chimney breast. If you could come armed with this then you are half way there. There are lots of other measurements we will need, but for now you can begin the process of choosing your fireplace.
If you have an existing fireplace and a tape measure to hand please measure the shelf width, the hearth width and depth.
The rest you can leave to us. If you do have any problems our site surveys are completely FREE.
If you are planning a gas or solid fuel fire or stove, take a look at your chimney before you come. It is useful for us to understand as much about you exisitng set up as possible. Don't worry if this bit is too complicated as we are delighted to visit you to check everything is in order.
What about no chimney houses - you can still have a gas fire even without a chimney. Powerflue, Balanced flue, and even Flueless make it possible for nearly everyone to enjoy a real flame fire. Just tell us your situation and we will advise.
Finally - no natural gas - Many of the fires we offer can be run on LPG or cylinder gas. This is a also a good way of operating a stove for that extra bit of heat in the conservatory or out house!
