Restoration work inside and around the firebox
Matching replacement firebrick
Firebrick comes in several sizes, colors and densities. A replacement that is the wrong size leaves wide joints, and one that is the wrong color stands out once the fire darkens the rest.
We measure the existing units and choose replacements that fit the pattern. Where an exact color match is not available, we place new units where they show least and tell you in advance. After a few fires, new and old firebrick usually darken toward the same tone.
Dry wood after restoration
A restored firebox and a cleaned face stay that way longer when the fire burns cleanly. Wet wood burns cool and smoky, and that smoke darkens the face and coats the smoke chamber.
Burn dry, split, seasoned wood, and nothing else. Wood burning guidance warns against burning trash, painted wood or treated lumber, which can damage the fireplace and give off toxic chemicals. Those habits help the restored fireplace keep looking and working the way it did on the day we finished.
Describing your fireplace on the phone
Tell us how long the fireplace has been idle and how you want to use it. Mention what you want to keep, such as original tile or brick, and anything you already know is broken.
Say whether the fireplace is masonry or factory-built, if you know. For a factory-built unit, the model information from the label helps. You do not need to clean anything before the visit. A plain description is enough to plan the free inspection. If the fireplace has a history you are unsure about, tell us that too.
When an exact match is not available
Sometimes the original brick, tile or stone is no longer made. Restoration then needs a judgment about the closest available option.
We show you the options before any original material is removed. Where a replacement will be visible, we suggest placing it where it shows least, or moving original units from a hidden area to a visible one. The choice is yours, and the estimate records what was agreed. Whatever is decided, the replacement units are listed on the written record, so later repairs can use the same material.

Your restoration questions, in plain terms
What if parts for my factory-built unit are discontinued?
We check for manufacturer-approved alternatives. If none exist, we explain what that means for the fireplace. Unlisted parts are not fitted, because the listing depends on the tested components working together.
Is there a discount on fireplace restoration work?
Yes. Restoration items booked inside 72 hours of your free inspection come with a 10% discount. The inspection and the written estimate stay free whether or not you go ahead.
How is brick fireplace restoration different from a repair?
A repair fixes one part. Restoration plans the whole fireplace, so several repairs fit together and the finished look is consistent. If only one part needs work, we say so and quote that repair on its own.
