How we approach wood fireplace repair
Firebrick damage gets its own scope line
Cracked or loose firebrick inside a masonry fireplace is firebox work. The code calls for a firebrick lining laid in thin joints of refractory mortar, and a repair has to keep to that. Ordinary mortar or a decorative filler inside the fire chamber will not stand up to the heat.
When a fireplace repair visit turns up firebox damage, we list it as its own line with the bricks and joints affected. Our firebox repair page explains that work in detail. The point here is simply that the fire chamber and the rest of the fireplace are priced and approved separately.
After a chimney fire or another damaging event
Manufacturer manuals and the national fireplace and chimney standard both call for a look at the system after an event likely to have damaged it. Warped metal, cracked panels, a loosened firebox or smoke staining in odd places can all follow. Do not relight until that look has happened.
We check the fireplace parts in the room and route the chimney side to the services that cover it. Our findings are explained on site, and each repair is listed separately. You approve what goes ahead, with nothing started on an assumption about who pays.
Glass screens that trap heat in a masonry firebox
Glass screens across a masonry fireplace reduce the heated room air lost up the chimney. Brick industry guidance also warns that running fires behind closed screens can raise temperatures enough to warp grates, stress the steel lintel and wear firebox joints early.
If your fireplace has glass screens, tell us how they are used during fires. We check the grate, the joints and the lintel area for heat damage. Any accessory across the opening should be used as its listing and instructions say.
Masonry fireplace work in Melrose Manors
For a masonry fireplace in Melrose Manors, we look at the firebox lining, the damper, the lintel over the opening, the face and the hearth. Each part has its own material and its own place in the code.
We name the mortar or unit for each repair and keep firebox work apart from the face and the hearth on the estimate. If a fault points to the chimney above, we say so and name the service that checks it. You approve each line before we begin.

Masonry and factory-built repair, answered
Can the fireplace and the chimney be handled on one visit?
They can often be booked together. Each has its own services and its own lines on the estimate, so you see what the fireplace work covers and what the chimney work covers before approving either one.
Can you look at the damper behind my gas logs?
Yes. The damper and firebox around gas logs are fireplace parts. The log manual decides the damper setting, and we check that it can be held there. Faults in the logs or their controls go to our gas services.
Is fireplace service the same as having the chimney swept?
No. Fireplace service looks at the parts in the room: firebox, damper, hearth, grate and screen. Sweeping cleans the flue and smoke chamber above. They can be booked together, and each shows as its own item.
