The parts of a fireplace restoration
Refractory panels in factory-built units
Factory-built fireplaces often use refractory panels in place of firebrick. The panels can crack, crumble or come loose after years of fires and neglect.
Replacement panels must be the ones the manufacturer lists for your model. They are shaped to fit and tested as part of the unit. We read the model information and order the correct panels. If the panels are no longer made, we explain what that means for the fireplace before anything is removed. Panels are fitted as the manual shows, and any cracked piece we leave in place is noted with the reason.
Workmanship warranty on restoration work
The restoration work we complete is covered by our workmanship warranty. Should one of our repairs fail to hold, let us know and we return to look at it.
Because a restoration has many items, the written record of the work lists each one we carried out, which makes it clear what the warranty relates to. We explain the warranty terms for your job before you approve, so nothing about them is left to guesswork. Follow the curing steps we give you, since they protect the new joints.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms near the fireplace
If a carbon monoxide or smoke alarm sounds while the fireplace is lit, get everyone outside at once. From outside, call 911, and stay out until responders tell you the house is safe.
Working alarms are part of using any wood fireplace. Consumer safety guidance recommends alarms for carbon monoxide in the home, tested regularly, and quick action whenever one goes off. Check that your alarms work before you bring a restored fireplace back into use, and do not light a fire if they are missing.
Children and pets during restoration
Restoration brings tools, dust, mortar and loose materials into the room. Keep children and pets away from the fireplace while the work is going on.
At the end of each day we tidy the area and leave the opening covered. Fresh mortar and cleaning materials are stored out of reach. If the work runs over several days, we tell you at the end of each work day what state the fireplace is in. We also say whether anything should be avoided before we return. Materials that need to stay undisturbed while they cure are marked so everyone in the house knows to leave them alone.
How a restoration estimate is laid out
- Firebox joints refilled with refractory mortar
- Face brick cleaned by the gentlest method
- Damaged face brick replaced with matches
- Separate notes on chimney-side findings
Before you approve restoration work
Is the chimney part of a fireplace restoration?
The focus is the fireplace itself, from the firebox and damper to the hearth and face. Findings on the chimney above are noted and listed as separate items, each with its own reason and price.
When can I light a fire after the restoration?
Once the new mortar has dried and cured as its maker directs. Some heat-resistant mortars call for small fires before full use. We tell you how long to wait and how to build those early fires.
Will restoring the fireplace fix a smoky fire?
It may, when the cause sits inside the fireplace. A damper stuck partway and a rough smoke chamber are common examples. We check those first and explain any cause outside the fireplace separately.
