Hi mv5869 Thanks for taking the time to offer your suggestions. As it happens I have replaced the fireplace. I am very grateful for all the suggestions people made and they gave me lots of food for thought. I was going to post a photo to show everyone who commented the "after" pictures but was waiting for it to be completely finished so you could see the full effect. I seriously considered a reclaimed Victorian surround and insert but in the end I decided it just wasn't what I wanted. I called in a local specialist and he built me a fireplace with a Bath stone surround and black slate slips and hearth. We in put a gas insert fire. I absolutely love it. The natural materials are gorgeous and in my opinion the design is contemporary but classic. I can turn the fire on when I get in from work (usually late) and I really enjoy the fire every day at the moment. It wasn't a cheap solution but after years of fretting about this I have exactly what I wanted. I will try and add a link to the specialist in a minute. As you can see I took up the carpet and sanded down and varnished the original boards. A few boards needed replacing but a local reclamation yard was able to supply reclaimed boards. The pine came up quite bright but I like it! I also had bookshelves built in on the right and painted white. Thanks so much for suggesting this it looks amazing. I am in the process of reinstating some of my possessions but trying to be selective about what I put back. It just takes time to sort it all out. I went for what I thought was a neutral colour on the walls but it turned out to have a slight orangey tint. I am happy with it. The new sofas are orange so I haven't lost my strong colours altogether! there will be a rug as well so when it is all in place I will post another picture of the finished effect.

There is a big difference between slab doors from different manufacturers, you have at the lower end just cut and edged melamine faced chipboard doors which can come in a wide range of colours and woodgrains and usually have a 1mm edging, some may have a 2mm edging. These would be lighter in weight than a mdf door. If they have a really thin 0.4mm edging and you can feel/see the chipboard underneath, avoid. Then you have mdf doors which have a coloured vinyl wrap and these can also be machined so they can have softened corners, inset handles and many other details, with a vinyl foil wrap this goes across the front and stretched around the sides and is glued to the mdf, but have had a reputation of delamination over time, the back of the door is usually a colour matched melamine. Next you can have an acrylic faced door like Zurfiz, this has a 1mm acrylic face and is a cut and edged mdf door and they usually come with a choice of edging as in a matching edge, glass effect edging is popular with gloss doors and recently a ply effect edging is getting popular. At the more expensive end you can have painted mdf doors either gloss or matt and depending on the supplier you can have any colour and any sheen level. Painted doors are far more labour intesive with the prep work and painting involved so are at the premium end of the market, but they are a far superior finished product. Recently, thin doors seem to be popular, but most doors are 18mm thick with a few suppliers offering 22mm thick flat slab doors (I offer both). One of the great advantages of flat slab doors is they can easily be made to measure. There are also more versions and materials available like Fenix, solid acrylic, birch ply and other specialist materials available depending on budget and the look you're after.

I also recommend finding a local joiner. However - there are also a couple of options that might fit the bill. Harvey Jones do a range called Linear. (Probably v expensive too - but you never know!). https://www.harveyjones.com/our-kitchens/linear-kitchens Naked Kitchen do the in-frame slab. https://www.nakedkitchens.com/kitchens/in-frame. Naked Kitchens also do replacement doors to overhaul existing units that I was tempted by a few years ago - until I found a local joiner 😂. This one is in Stamford - but they do a supply only option that might be a possibility (looks to be a good price too) https://www.thestamfordkitchencompany.co.uk/ranges/smooth-oak-in-frame-slab/ No idea on price with this one - but looks lovely https://www.elgarkitchens.co.uk/2019/10/01/1909-slab/. The make of kitchen “1909” seems to be fairly widely available too.
