🔥Before & after🔥 This was a really satisfying job in Loose Maidstone!

Out came the old fire brick and debris, then we lined the chimney and laid a fresh black concrete base. Finished with an oak leaf Farrow 5kW — the perfect size for the room and the opening.

This is the kind of transformation that makes the job worth doing. Thinking about a new stove? Give us a ring.

Cold nights are back this week and the log burners are going on again. If your glass goes black within an hour it's usually wet logs or not enough air — dry wood and a good hot fire will keep it clear.

Finished this fireplace design in Tunbridge Wells last week and we are really pleased with how the granite hearth sets it all off.

The customer chose a lovely cast iron stove paired with a warm honed stone hearth — the matte finish gives it a clean, modern feel without being too stark.

If you are thinking about updating your fireplace or fitting a new stove, give us a call. We handle everything from the hearth right through to the final install.
