Restoring what is there rather than replacing it
Resetting hearth tiles that have lifted
Tile hearths lose grip over time, especially where they take the most traffic and heat. A loose tile can crack further or let embers reach the bed beneath it.
We lift loose tiles, clean the bed and reset them in a material suited to the heat. Broken tiles are replaced with the closest available match. If the original tile is no longer made, we show you the options before choosing. The hearth tile work is its own line on the estimate.
A small hidden test area before cleaning
Before cleaning a whole face, we try the method on a small area that does not show. Brick and mortar can react differently to the same cleaner, and some stains darken rather than lift.
The test area is left to dry before it is judged, because wet brick looks darker than it is. If the result is good, the same method is used across the face. If not, we adjust and try again. You can see the test area yourself before the full clean goes ahead.
Rusted metal in a factory-built firebox
The metal parts of a factory-built firebox can rust after years of damp or disuse. Surface rust may be harmless. Rust that has thinned or holed the metal is not.
We check the metal surfaces, the joints and any areas that carry heat. Where the damage is in a replaceable listed part, we order that part. Where it is in the body of the unit, we explain what that means for continued use. The manufacturer's instructions guide what can be repaired and what cannot.
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.
The restoration scope in writing
- Firebrick replaced where units have failed
- Surround tiles reset or matched
- Face joints repointed with matched mortar
- Loose stones reset on a stone face
Brick fireplace restoration questions
Can you restore a factory-built fireplace as well?
Yes, within its listing. Panels, grates and other replacement parts have to come from that model's own parts list. The label on the unit gives the model and serial number we order by.
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.
What should I mention when I call about restoration?
Tell us how long the fireplace has been idle, how you want to use it and what you want to keep. Mention past repairs if you know of any, and whether the fireplace is masonry or factory-built.
