Our weekly round-up in pictures 📷 It feels like Autumn is nearly upon us, there's a chill in the evening air! The Fire Shop teams have been out getting chimneys & fireplaces ready for the colder months. Have you lit your fire yet? 🔥 Call us on 01424 319865 and get winter-ready.
1: An unusual request - repurposing tiles from an old cast insert. These have been expertly set into an oak beam, keeping the history of the fireplace for years to come🔧
2: Creosote build-up in a flue, an extremely flammable deposit caused by burning wet wood. This is why we recommend where you can be sure your wood supply is safe and ready to burn. 🪵
3: The finishing touch to this beautiful installation is a non-combustible beam from 🫶
4: Work-in-progress. A complete re-vamp is underway for this double-sided fireplace. The new riven slate hearth going in after removing the older, inefficient stove and perished flue liner. This is going to look stunning ✨
5: Making progress on this double chimney rebuild in the shadow of Hastings Castle with imperial bricks and traditional lime mortar 👷
6: In the mean-time we have been busy at our St Leonards showroom, updating our displays for the heating season to come.
