How we repair a cracked or loose hearth
Cracked stone slab hearths
A hearth made from one or a few large stone slabs can crack from a heavy blow, a point load or an uneven bed beneath. A crack through a slab often runs from edge to edge.
We check whether the slab still sits firmly and whether the two sides of the crack are level. A stable crack in a well-supported slab may be left and watched. A slab that rocks or has dropped on one side needs lifting and rebedding or replacing, and we discuss matching stone before anything is removed.
Describing the hearth problem
Tell us what you see: a crack, a loose tile, a sunken area, a gap at the fireplace face. Say when you first noticed it and whether it has grown.
Mention earlier repairs and how long they lasted, and any change nearby, such as new flooring or a heavy item placed on the hearth. Those details help us judge whether the fault is in the finish or beneath it before we arrive. Tapping a tile and noting whether it sounds hollow is a useful check you can make yourself.
Keeping leftover tile and stone after the repair
When a hearth is repaired, a few spare tiles, bricks or stone offcuts may remain. With your agreement, we leave usable spares with you rather than hauling them away with the debris.
Store them somewhere dry and label them with the room and the date of the work. A spare from the same batch is the easiest match if an edge chips later. The written record of the work also names the material and its source, which helps if the spares run out. Broken pieces and packaging still leave with us.
A family team for hearth repair in Boulevard Gardens
Our family-owned, locally owned team handles hearth repair in Boulevard Gardens. The person who inspects the hearth explains the findings and answers questions about the estimate directly, and the same people carry out the repair you approve.
Conversations stay practical, covering what failed, why, what the repair will change and how it will look. Upfront pricing and a workmanship warranty come with the approved work. Later questions go to the people who did the job, so the answers come from those who saw the hearth opened up.

Worth knowing before a hearth repair
Can the fireplace be used before the hearth is repaired?
Sometimes. A cracked tile on a sound base rarely stops fires. Missing pieces, loose edges near the opening or gaps into a void below should stop them. We give you a direct answer on the visit and explain the reason.
Should new flooring go down before or after the hearth repair?
Usually after. Repairing or extending the hearth first keeps the protected area where the fireplace needs it and avoids cutting back a new floor later. Tell us your flooring plans early so the order is settled on the estimate.
Can a rug sit on top of the hearth?
The hearth extension is meant to stay clear and noncombustible across its whole area. A rug over it sits exactly where embers land. Keep rugs off the hearth and back from its edge, and move them before our visit so we can see the whole surface.
