The parts of a fireplace restoration
The steel support above the fireplace opening
Across the top of the opening runs the lintel, a noncombustible support that is often a steel angle. It carries the masonry above the opening. Rust can swell it, bend it or crack the brick above.
We check the lintel for rust, sag and cracks in the brick it supports. Surface rust can be treated. A lintel that has lost strength or pushed the face out of line is a larger repair and is priced separately. We explain what we see before any work above the opening begins.
Working around the mantel you already have
Most restorations leave the existing mantel exactly where it is. The work around it is planned so the mantel is protected during cleaning and repointing.
We cover the mantel and its finish before any cleaning starts. If the mantel is loose or sits closer to the opening than the code allows, we tell you. Changing or replacing it is outside our services. Our job is to restore the fireplace beneath it and keep the mantel as it was. Any concern about it is written on the estimate, so you can decide how to handle it.
The screen in front of the fire
A fireplace screen keeps sparks and rolling embers inside the firebox. On a neglected fireplace the mesh may be torn, the frame bent or the screen missing altogether.
For a factory-built unit, the screen is a listed part and must come from the manufacturer's parts list. For a masonry fireplace, a screen that fits the opening and stands firmly is what matters. We check the screen as part of the restoration and note any replacement. It is a small item that protects everything else.
Refurbishing parts versus restoring the whole
Fireplace refurbishing often means renewing individual parts, such as a new grate, a cleaned face or reset tiles. Restoration plans the whole fireplace so those parts work together.
If you want a few parts refurbished, we can quote them individually. If several parts depend on each other, we explain why a combined plan may serve you better. Either way, the estimate shows each item and its price, so you can choose the scope that fits your plans. Refurbished parts are listed individually, with a note on anything nearby that may need attention later.

Your restoration questions, in plain terms
Will you keep the original look of my fireplace?
That is the aim. We keep sound features, match replacement brick, tile and mortar as closely as available materials allow, and tell you where an exact match is not possible before the work starts.
Do I need to empty the room for restoration work?
No. Clear the area in front of the fireplace and move fragile items nearby. We cover the hearth and floor, manage dust at the opening and haul debris away when each stage is done.
Can you tell whether my fireplace is masonry or factory-built?
Yes, during the free inspection. The difference matters, because a masonry fireplace is repaired with masonry methods while a factory-built unit must stay within its listing and use the manufacturer's parts.
