The parts of a fireplace restoration
A crack running through the face
A crack that runs through several courses of the face can mean something has moved. It may be the lintel, the hearth support or the structure behind the fireplace.
We look at where the crack starts, where it ends and whether it is still opening. A crack from a single rusted lintel is repaired differently from one caused by settlement. We explain what the crack suggests, what we can confirm and what we cannot. Filling a moving crack without addressing its cause would not hold.
Parts from one manufacturer only
A factory-built fireplace and its chimney were listed together, with specified parts. Mixing in parts from another maker, or from a different model, falls outside that listing.
When we restore a factory-built unit, every replacement part comes from the manufacturer's list for that model. We check the label, confirm the parts and fit them to the instructions. If a previous repair used unlisted parts, we point that out and explain what it would take to put the unit back within its listing.
Fine lines in firebrick
Firebrick expands and contracts with every fire, and fine surface lines are common in a firebox that has been used. Not every line is a reason for replacement.
We check whether a line is shallow or runs through the brick, and whether the brick is still firmly held. Shallow lines in sound units can usually stay. Cracks that go through, loose units and missing pieces are the ones we replace. We explain the difference in the firebox itself, so you can see what we mean.
Firebox patches in the wrong material
Some firebox patches were made with ordinary mortar, cement or even caulk. Those materials are not made for direct fire and can break down, crumble or fall out.
We identify patches in the wrong material and remove them where they are failing or damaging the firebrick. The joints are then refilled with a heat-rated fireplace mortar. If a patch in the wrong material is still holding and not causing harm, we explain whether it can wait. The decision is written into the estimate.

Brick fireplace restoration questions
What does a fireplace restoration include?
It returns a neglected fireplace to safe use and to the look it was built with, under one plan. Typical items are firebrick and firebox repairs, damper work, smoke chamber parging, face cleaning and repointing, and hearth repairs, each priced separately.
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.
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.
