House Refurbishment

10 years ago

This picture shows what we found behind a modern gas fire in our Georgian Grade II terrace house. I would love to instal a Georgian period fireplace with open grate. Probably a wooden surround and open grate but not sure where to start. Will the flue be OK, do I buy the grate first, what about the finish on the interior. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Sue, Its best to get a chimney specialist in first to make sure that the fireplace flue is properly lined, and then they can advise the first steps to move forward. I am sure the end result will look great.

We installed tile in our entryway, bath and laundry, but did not put in heating. Regret it ever since. I think that since tile isn't easily replaced it is worth the extra expense and an added feature for resale. I was under the impression that it only takes a few minutes to warm up, but that would probably depend on the brand.
