510 Fireplace Specialists

Like a moth to a flame, people have been drawn to fires and fireplaces since the dawn of civilisation. That’s because they offer more than warmth; they are focal points and each fireplace is a gathering place. Fast forward to the present day and engineering has advanced to such a degree that some fireplaces roar without interruption, while others are smoke free. Arguably all have become personal style statements. In a world of dizzying choice – gas fires, electric fires, wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves – you need a fireplaces showroom or fireplace installation specialist to ensure you don’t get your fingers burned. Or anything else for that matter. More

Redefining Woodburners

Fireplace Specialists

15 January 2020

“Reece is always really helpful whenever we have customer enquiries for specialist woodburners. We recently had a request for a modern metallic fireplace and Reece was able to help us source and supply this Rocal Aitana Wood Fireplace, which looks great. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”

Pure Stoves & Fireplaces Ltd

Fireplace Specialists

25 March 2020

“I required a fireplace for my living room that was to be a feature and change the rooms perspective. From the initial call and then visit to the shop I could not have been more grateful for the assistance I received. I have very limited knowledge of fireplaces and my wife had some specific requests and nothing was an issue. The fireplace was ordered and arrived within good time and I was constantly updated throughout the process. Excellent customer service.”

Fire Surround Centres

Fireplace Specialists

21 February 2020

“Faultless installation of a modern white Contura stove (choosing from a great range was the tricky part!) with glass hearth. Excellent service from start to finish including a tricky flue installation because of our roof layout. The finishing touch and focal point to a sun room extension. Great to know that we have a Defra approved stove that is efficient and sustainable.”

The Heating Centre

Fireplace Specialists

22 June 2018

“We are just full of praise for The Heating Centre - they did an absolutely super job for us! We needed advice and they helped us to decide on the most appropriate fire and stove for our new build house. We also wanted a gas fire for our small snug and they sourced and organised the installation of both fires for us expertly and professionally with HETAS and Gas Safe approved fitters. We have been very impressed with their customer care. We would have no hesitation in recommending this Coventry family run company to anyone in the West Midlands / Warwickshire area who wants to install a beautiful new fire or stove for their home.”

After the Antique

Fireplace Specialists

13 December 2017

“The Temple was a triumph and AA was very efficient indeed in producing it on time…from getting the drawings in early December 2004, to them making the huge thing with colonnade, it was 16M wide. They made it , assembled it, disassembled it ( numbering each stone) and got it transported to arrive at Chelsea May 1st 2005. An extra 50??? stonemasons were taken on to do this in time. A most impressive job and we won a Silver medal for the big garden in which it sat, Savills Grand Tour garden. The Temple looked gorgeous and we had fun at the show with the AA trade stand there too. Also The new acquisition this year an English Bolection Fire surround in sandstone is a huge success too.”

Bio Fires

Fireplace Specialists

12 October 2014

“We live in an apartment and are unable to have an open fire, which is something I have always wanted. So, when I discovered biofires, I was really excited - I could have real flames warming the flat and creating a cosy atmosphere! The fire is gorgeous and much admired by anyone who visits. It heats up our large kitchen despite the fact we have 12ft-high ceilings and it creates a lovely focal point. I would recommend getting the logs and the ember things, as that finishes it off beautifully and the embers make a lovely glow. The company were really good and very quick to send a replacement piece of glass when one panel was broken in transit. The lady I dealt with was really pleasant and helpful. All in all, a very good experience and a great product.”

Cambridge Stove Installations

Fireplace Specialists

9 March 2017

“Engaged to install a previously-purchased stove, the work included opening up the fire place, cleaning brick-work in the opening, replacing the flue liner in the chimney and installing a new pot, installing the stove, laying a granite hearth, plaster-work to make good. All of this was completed in two days (except plastering) to a very high standard of work and we're very happy with the results. Highly recommended as a thoroughly professional company.”

Feature Fireplaces Harrogate

Fireplace Specialists

19 September 2016

“I can't recommend Nick highly enough. From the initial meeting in his showroom, to estimate through to completion of the work he has been excellent. He understood exactly what we needed and helped us with design and sourcing of the right tiles as well as carrying out the work with an exceptional level of craftsmanship. We had been looking for years for someone with the necessary knowledge of working with period features combined with the practicality of gas installation and I'm so relieved that we found Nick to do the job. He left the house immaculate once he was done and was always courteous and polite even when I was dithering over styles! And as if his overall service was not enough, when we had made a mistake in the quantity of tiles, he has offered to come back and fit the remaining 2 tiles. Would recommend to anyone looking to restore or replace their fireplace, especially those looking for period detail.”

What are the key differences between fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, electric fires, flueless gas fires and the rest?

Some fuels burn more efficiently than others in certain conditions. But it is also about the ambience that different fireplaces and stoves can create. If your chimney is functioning and the flue is in good working order then you might prefer a traditional wood-burning stove, log-burning stove or Victorian fireplace for your period property or cottage. Combined with a marble or stone fire surround, the latter will add a rarified sense of grandeur to any dining room or lounge, but it does take a while to get going. Ventilation is also an important consideration, as is practicality. You’ll be clearing away ash on a regular basis. First thing’s first though: check with your authority to see if you live in a Smoke Control Area – fireplace installation specialists may also know this.

Compact freestanding stoves, either multi-fuel, gas, oil or electric, have become very popular in recent years as homeowners try to rekindle the open-fire romance of yesteryear. But if efficiency, lower energy bills and fuss-free heating are more important, a gas fire scores highly, particularly the flueless gas fire variety, which draws waste gases out through a duct. You will also have much better control of the temperature. That said, the gold standard of sustainable heating and performance is the bioethanol fireplace – smoke-free, odourless and not a speck of ash to be seen. Meanwhile, fans of sleek and minimal design will melt away at the sight of a hole in the wall gas fire. These preserve valuable floor space, will comfortably heat a small living room and come in a variety of beguiling forms – a fire ribbon row of flames, a fire bowl or fire basket with pebbles. It’s like magic. Ask your fireplace installation expert or local showroom to show you all of the different types so you can clearly see the difference.

Tips on buying a fireplace, stove or burner for your home:

Safety is crucial when dealing with fireplaces so this is probably one to leave to the experts. Look for fireplace showrooms and installation specialists that are approved by HETAS, a government-recognised body that accredits the most competent installers and servicing businesses. Also, on new fireplaces, look for the CE mark on the fireplaces and stoves that they recommend. This confirms “the manufacturer’s declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives.”

When considering your options, talk with your fireplace installation specialist about the size of area you wish to heat, the current sources of heat (such as central heating), potential heat loss (through windows, for example) and degree of insulation. If your home is modern or well insulated it probably makes sense to choose a fireplace, fire or stove that works efficiently on a low setting to avoid over heating!
