Another and another fitting from the same day as the post goes up.

Today we went out to fit a DLX 1600 electric fire by CELSI DLX British Fire Manufacturer. The customer had a very clear vision of the fireplace design they wanted, but liked a stone that out suppliers didn’t stock.

One of our team worked diligently to use the customers measurements along with the fires dimensions to design the fireplace as the customer wanted.

They then liased with the good people at oxfordstoneandmarble so that they could create this bespoke fireplace.

As everything was designed as precisely as possible, but with neither the fires dimensions or stone surround being in the same place until today, all of our breaths were held.

The phrase “fits like a glove” is apt for today.

Well done to Oxford Stone and Marble for their craftsmanship and to our managing director for all of her hard work getting the measurements exactly right

Earlier this month, we went and removed an old electric fire along with a stone fireplace.

The customer wanted a look that better suited their contemporary decor. To achieve this, they chose the DLX 1000 by and the low, sleek Verona surround by -fireplaces. The surround was custom sized beautifully in Polar White marble, with a grey inlay.

Due to wood panelling across the whole chimney breast we ended up doing a full plaster of the area.

It’s again.

Just for novelty, here are before and after photo’s of a job we actually carried out today.

The customer had an old white mantel and botticino marble backpanel and hearth around an empty opening.

We restored some life to the fireplace with a 48” Arbroath surround by Worcestershire Marble in Bianco White marble, whilst the Ultra Designer electric fire by BFM Europe Ltd - British Fire Manufacturers adds real warmth, returning the area back into the rooms focal point.

In March we had a customer with a brick fireplace that wrapped around three sides of their chimney breast and extended with a TV shelf.

They wanted to take up less space in the room but keep their existing stove. However, their chimney breast was only 1060mm wide.

For this job we were able to utilise the made to measure service at Capital Fireplaces Ltd who worked with us to create a bespoke Astwick mantel in Aegean limestone.
All the way through the process, they made sure that all the measurements were correct and so the installation day went smoothly.

The inner and outer hearths were supplied by Worcestershire Marble in honed granite.

Another week, another Fireplace Friday.

A few weeks ago we took on a three day job removing an old brick fireplace, extending the chimney breast and installing a new gas fire and fireplace.

The fire chosen was the Angelo Celena suite by The Collection by Michael Miller - British Fire Manufacturers. This version came with the black granite hearth and backpanel.

In our showroom we have the option with the suite all in limestone and the fire is on live display. Why not pop in for a demonstration?

May saw us installing a woodburning stove for a customer in an extension that had no chimney. The room felt colder than the rest of the house during the initial home visit and so definitely benefits from the additonal heat.

The stove chosen was the Explorer C5 by Bristol Stove Company. This product comes with the option of a direct air kit which allowed us to provide air to the stove without the need of external air bricks.

The hearth was cut from polished by the always impressive Worcestershire Marble.

As there was no chimney, we constructed a twin wall flue system by Poujoulat UK. These extremely high quality flues work amazingly and are, in our opinion, the best in the industry.

Welcome to another

In March we took a complete blank canvas in Oxford, where a customer was undertaking a complete renovation of their home.

Due to a potential issue with the chimney, we installed an Orbis Plus gas fire by Gas Fires into a starter box. This allowed us to seal the fire to a gas liner which was supplied to us by .

The fireplace itself is a Henley by Worcestershire Marble. The mantel was created with Turkish limestone, and the hearth and backpanel were produced from smooth Italian slate.

March of this year saw us go out to take replace a very traditional gas fire with something more modern and clean lined.

Looking at the original fire and fireplace, the textured marble, white wooden mantel and heat plate in on the hearth all pointed to the products having been installed when the house was originally built.

We replaced these with a Celena gas fire by The Collection by Michael Miller - British Fire Manufacturers and a made to measure Lingwood fireplace by Capital Fireplaces Ltd in Aegean limestone.

Due to its efficency, we also fitted a gas liner into the chimney supplied by

If you look at the last photo you can see the customers ridge tiles which made it impossible to use our ridge ladders for access to the chimney. This was another job where helped us out with a MEWP.

Recently we went out to see a customer who wanted to replace an existing open Jetmaster gas fire with a solid fuel stove.

Upon inspection we noticed that their LPG bottles were not installed safely and were not even chained to the wall, so it was a good job they decided to change the fire out.

We installed to very modern and easy to use R4 wooodburning stove by Hunter Stoves Group. The hearth and slips (frame to protect the wall from the heat) were cut and supplied by Worcestershire Marble in smooth Italian slate.

The chimney was difficult to access for this one and so we hired a MEWP from the ever reliable
