FIREPLACES

FIREPLACE PROCESS


Material Selection


Our decorative Fireplaces are made from Portuguese Limestone, Bath Stone, Portland Stone and Mandale Derbyshire Fossil.



The images indicate samples of the stones listed above , Natural stone varies from slab or block to block  shades, texture and shell content will have variations.



Manufacturing Process


Although we rely on modern machines to cut out large proportions of excess stone, we still have to step back and blow off the dust from our chisels.


Traditional handcrafting is the only way to get into the form of the fireplace ... and don't forget we are stonemasons for a reason, we love our craft.


Installation


Once we have finished the Fireplace, after a final clean, the stone is carefully loaded into the van ready for fitting.


A fireplace usually takes half a day to install dependent on the complexity and number of pieces it has been constructed in. We will arrange with you if we need to install the hearth stone on the previous day to make sure it is fully set, to take the weight of the fireplace, if built from solid block stone.


Final Product


All that is left is you to sit back and enjoy your new fireplace.

CUSTOM DESIGNS

Our custom fireplace designs are made to order only, made specifically to your requirements. We will survey the chimney breast and chamber opening dimensions to create a scale layout drawing. From this, we will take our cutting measurements for your individual fireplace.


This example is made from Arabescato marble.
