If you’ve been thinking about it, this is a pretty good reason to pull the trigger. Link in bio or DM us to chat.

We swapped the mountains for the coast last week — Huskisson, Hyams Beach, and all the good stuff in between. All those fish in the sea and we couldn’t catch a cold. Exactly the kind of trip we needed.

Mike walking a client through their fireplace construction before the fire goes in — catching the details early is where the real savings happen.

Have you ever had advice like this that saved you money down the track?

Autumn has well and truly landed in Blackheath 🍂

If this is your reminder to sort out your fireplace before winter hits — this is it. We’re taking orders now for delivery and installation, and right now is when you’ll get the best pricing before the season rush.
Wood, gas or electric — we can help you work out what’s right for your space and get it sorted.

Drop us a message or head to the link in bio.

Are you a “light the fire the second it gets cold” person, or do you wait until you can actually see your breath inside? 😄

Getting the bullet ready for a little escape 🚐
Bit of prep, bit of chaos, tools everywhere… but you know it’s all worth it once you hit the road.

We’ll share a few more photos once we’re out there, so you can come along for the ride with us.

Where would you take this for a weekend away?

Here’s something we see all the time—people using green or damp wood and wondering why their fireplace is smoking up the whole room!

Dry, seasoned wood is everything. If it’s been sitting outside in the rain, give it a few days inside near (not too close to!) your fireplace to dry out first.

And here’s a little trick we love: stack your logs bark-side down. The bark catches faster and helps get things going.

Small things, but they make such a difference to your whole winter experience.

What’s your go-to firewood? We’re always curious what everyone’s using!

Quick question—are we opening our fireplace’s air vents enough?

We can’t tell you how many times someone tells us their fire won’t catch, and it’s just because the vents aren’t fully open. Your fire needs to breathe!

Also, resist the urge to pack in too many logs at once. Start small—a few pieces of kindling, 2-3 logs max, and give them room. Once that’s going strong, then you can add more.

Trust us, a little patience makes all the difference between a smoky struggle and that perfect crackling warmth we all love.
Anyone else learned this the hard way? 😊
