Is this a pre made surround and mantel or was it custom made? Also, what are the outside dimensions of the mantel?

This was custom. Unfortunately I don't know the size as it was constructed on site.

What's the best way to clean up an open fire ready to be rendered?

Hello Kimbames, I think rendering the inside of the fireplace would take away some of the fireplaces charm.. If they don't have mantel or surround they can look really good with a plainer aesthetic - unless you don't wish to use it? Having the chimney swept is the best way to clean the chimney and must be done if you intend to use it in any way.. If you are going to install a wood burning stove you could still have exposed brick, it would be a nice, more authentic aesthetic actually rather than render.. but that's just my suggestion.. : ))

Hole in the wall fire in a 1930's house

I agree with buzzmummy in that I don't think it would work so well with the picture rail… but would be OK with the coving (if it's fairly plain rather than ornate…?). I prefer the second picture she posted as personally I don't think the modern fire suits the mantel/surround in the first one. Our last house was a 1930s semi and it had coving and dado rail when we moved in. We removed the dado but left the coving. We took out the marble fireplace that was in there and had the square-ish hole in the chimney breast plastered neatly so it was just that - a hole in the wall (with chimney above for Father Christmas!). We put a granite tile in the bottom as a shelf just because we were doing the patio and it happened to fit, and then we had flowers or candles in it. We were getting around to putting a fire in and I was doing research just like you. Never did it before we moved in the end but after my research I was confident it would have looked nice. I do think a squarer shape is more in keeping with the traditional style, rather than the wide sort in the original picture you posted.

Dressing a mantel

Hello there, you created a lovely display. I don't think you need to lower mirror because the trick is not in height. I honestly think that mirror is too large comparing to the size of fireplace surround. You should definitely think to balance both objects in width. I will suggest to add tall floor vases or decorative twigs, may be plant on each side of the fireplace and it should be as high as a mantel shelf. As to your question what to add on top of the shelf - it could be elongated plate of the same finish as your mirror. I hope it helps. You are doing great there anyway ;)

I'd go for any make of 'stone' spray. Comes in a can and when you spray it on it gives the look and texture of stone. Not sure where you are in the world, but there are a few different companies that sell it. It comes in a range of neutral colours and i'm sure one of those will suit your decor. I think ordinary paint will look flat and odd. I think it will help make it look less dated. As for the mantel I'd use the same and keep the whole thing uniform, when you put the mirror up and all your accessories you'll just notice the whole thing less.
