"See what our clients say about us..." Over time the fireplace industry has grown, the feature fireplace can be the main focal point of a home, but also a highly efficient heating appliance that can add warmth to your home and give you that green peace of mind. And as the market has developed so have we, growing every step of the way from the prestigious antique fireplace to the classic sophistication of the contemporary hole in the wall gas fires, there’s simply not a style of fireplace we've not mastered. Whether you're looking for a rare antique feature, a classic reproduction, or a truly impressive contemporary feature we are the ones to talk to, offering you the technical advice and assistance required for purchasing and installing your perfect fireplace. Our showroom based in Wimbledon Chase, London boasts a large range of displays with several working gas fires to view, or take a look in our salvage yard to find a unique antique cast iron fireplace from our vast stock. If you would like something different we now offer a full in house bespoke design service from our Interior Designer (Danny Cousins BA Hons), which has been set up for our commercial and residential customers who require unique, tailored and designed fireplaces complete with technical drawings, specifications and visualizations.
