Services
Gas Fires
Modern gas fires combine aesthetic appeal with up to 90% efficiency. Available in open-fronted, glass-fronted, and balanced-flue models, they suit homes with or without chimneys. Our range includes remote-controlled options and energy-efficient designs that complement both traditional and contemporary interiors while providing reliable heating.
Wood Burning Stoves
Eco-friendly wood-burning stoves offer carbon-neutral heating with authentic charm. Our DEFRA-approved models operate in smoke-controlled zones, featuring clean-burn technology for optimal efficiency. Available in cast iron and steel designs, they provide lasting warmth and can be integrated into inglenooks or modern fireplace settings.
Electric Fires
Realistic electric fires deliver instant heat with minimal maintenance. Our range includes inset models, freestanding stoves, and media wall units with LED flame effects. Energy-efficient and easy to install, they suit well-insulated homes where gas or solid fuel solutions are impractical.
Stove Installation
Our HETAS-certified fitters ensure safe, compliant stove installations. Services include chimney lining, hearth preparation, and hearthstone fitting. We specialise in complex installations, such as flue systems for homes without existing chimneys, guaranteeing durability and optimal performance.
Fireplace Conversions
Transform outdated fireplaces into stylish focal points. We convert traditional open fires into efficient stoves or gas fires, incorporating materials like marble, limestone, and granite. Projects often include inglenook constructions and bespoke beam installations for enhanced visual impact.
