What restoring a fireplace involves
Curing new mortar before the fire returns
Fresh firebox mortar needs to dry out before a fire reaches it. The makers of heat-resistant fireplace mortar publish drying and curing steps, and some ask for air drying followed by small fires.
We give you those steps in writing when the work is done. Following them protects the joints you just paid for. A large fire too soon can crack fresh mortar and open the joints again, which means the repair has to be done twice. If a cure step is unclear, ask before the fire rather than after it.
Same-day restoration visits when available
Same-day inspection visits are available when the schedule allows. If you are planning to use an old fireplace soon, an early look helps you know where you stand.
A full restoration is rarely finished in one visit. Materials have to be matched and mortar has to cure. What a quick visit can do is give you the findings, the plan and a written estimate quickly, so the work can be scheduled without delay. Any urgent safety concern we find on that visit is explained before we leave.
Upfront pricing for restoration
Restoration covers a wide range of work, from a cleaned face to a relaid firebox wall. You see the price of every item before any of it begins.
Prices are upfront, and no hidden fees appear on the final bill. If a material must be ordered to match, its cost is on the estimate. If we find something that changes the scope, we explain it and wait for your approval. The inspection and the written estimate are free. Deferred items stay on the plan with their reasons, so a later stage does not come as a surprise.
What the original look means in practice
Restoring the original look means returning the fireplace to how it was meant to appear, with materials that match. It does not mean making it look new or adding features it never had.
We match brick, mortar, tile and stone as closely as available materials allow. Where the original finish has been lost, we explain what can reasonably be recovered. If you want a different look, that is a design change, and it sits outside restoration. We explain the limits of any match before the work starts.

What people ask about restoring a fireplace
Do you replace every firebrick during a restoration?
No. Sound firebrick stays. We replace units that are loose, broken or badly eroded, and refill open joints with a heat-rated mortar. The estimate shows which units are to be replaced and where they sit.
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.
Is the restoration covered by a warranty?
Our workmanship warranty covers the work we carried out. If a repair we made does not hold, tell us and we come back to look. We explain what the warranty covers for your job before you approve.
