Fireplace restoration in The Roads, planned as one job
Function before finish
A restored face over a firebox that is still failing is money spent in the wrong order. Heat, smoke and falling debris from unfinished work above can spoil a freshly cleaned face.
We therefore plan the fire-facing work first. Firebox repairs, damper work and smoke chamber parging come before the face is cleaned and repointed. The hearth usually follows, since it catches debris from everything above it. The sequence is written into the estimate, so you know what happens when.
Tile surrounds around the opening
Tile surrounds frame many fireplace openings. Heat and age can loosen tiles, crack glaze and open grout joints.
We reset loose tiles and replace broken ones with the closest match we can find. Grout is refilled in a material that suits the heat near the opening. If the original tile is no longer made, we explain the choices before removing anything. A tile surround is often the most visible part of a restoration, so we treat it with the same care as the brick.
Walking through the finished fireplace
When the restoration is complete, we walk you through the fireplace. We show you what was repaired, what was replaced and what was kept, and how the damper works.
We also explain how to cure any new mortar and how to build the early fires. If anything about the finished work is unclear, ask. The walkthrough is the moment to raise it, and we would rather answer a question now than leave you unsure about using the fireplace. We also point out anything left outside the scope, so you know what still needs a decision.
What restoration does not include
Restoration keeps the fireplace you have and brings it back into working order. It does not change the design, the layout or the materials into something new.
Remodeling, new mantels and glass doors are outside our services, and converting the fireplace to gas is a separate job with its own estimate. So is work on walls, floors or ceilings beyond the fireplace itself. If your plans include any of those, tell us early. We explain where our work stops, so the rest can be arranged without confusion. The same goes for any painting of the room around the fireplace.

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.
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 restoration worth it if I will rarely light a fire?
If you will light it at all, the parts that keep a fire safe still need to work. If you will not burn in it, tell us, and we explain which items still matter for a fireplace that stays closed.
