Hearth repair from the surface down
Upfront pricing for the hearth
The estimate shows the price for each part of the hearth work: surface, edges, base and any extension. There are no hidden fees for protection, cleanup or setting materials. Matching tile or stone is priced once the source is known, and you see that figure before ordering.
Where the scope depends on what lies beneath, the estimate explains how that would be priced if found. If lifting a tile reveals more than expected, we stop and show you before continuing. You approve any change first. Nothing is added to the job without your approval, however small.
Planning hearth repair around a renovation
If you are redecorating or replacing floors near the fireplace, tell us early. The hearth's size, edge and height all interact with the new finishes around it.
Repairing or extending the hearth before the new floor goes down usually works best. We explain the order and what the hearth will look like at each stage. That avoids cutting into a new floor later, and it keeps the protected area where the fireplace needs it. The written estimate can be phased to fit around the other trades working in the room.
What the free inspection covers for a hearth
The free inspection looks at the hearth's size against the opening, its surface, joints, edges and the junction with the firebox. We tap for hollow areas and check for dips and gaps. We also look at the edge where the hearth meets the floor and at anything laid over the extension.
For factory-built units we also check the manual's hearth requirements. We explain the findings before we leave, including what could not be seen. There is no charge and no obligation to book the repair. The free written estimate follows, with each item priced on its own line.
Damp rising through a slab-mounted hearth
On a ground-floor slab, moisture from below can reach a hearth set directly on it. Signs include white deposits, loose tiles and grout that stays dark.
We look for those signs and for any matching damp in the floor around the hearth. Where damp comes from below, the fix may be outside the hearth, and we say so. The hearth repair then uses materials suited to the conditions and is scheduled once the moisture question is answered. Sealing over damp without dealing with it tends to push the problem somewhere else.

Questions about tile, stone and brick hearths
How long after a hearth repair can we light a fire?
The setting materials decide that, and each product's directions differ. We tell you when the hearth can be walked on, when heavy items can go back and when fires can resume. The written record notes any curing steps still running.
Does hearth repair include the tile on the fireplace surround?
Not unless you ask for it. Surround tile sits on a different surface and fails for different reasons, so we price it separately. You can approve the hearth, the surround or both, and each keeps its own price.
Do you handle the flooring around the hearth too?
Only the edge where the hearth meets the floor, when that is named in the scope. Damage further into the room floor is its own item or a job for a flooring installer. The estimate states where our work stops.
