Hearth work planned around the fireplace it serves
Listed hearth extension products
Some hearth extensions are factory-made products listed for use with fireplaces. The code refers to a listing standard for these. They carry their own instructions for placement and for the fireplaces they suit.
If your fireplace uses one, it is repaired or replaced as that product, not rebuilt as masonry. We check the product label and the fireplace manual together. Where the product is no longer available, we explain what the fireplace manual allows as an alternative before anything is removed. The fireplace manual usually names which listed products it accepts.
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.
Loose stones on a raised hearth
Raised hearths built from natural stone are laid in mortar, and individual stones can loosen as the mortar ages or the bed shrinks. Stones at the corners and front edge take the most knocks.
A loose stone is taken up, its bed cleaned and the stone reset in mortar suited to it. Where several stones have loosened together, the core of the platform may have moved, and we check before resetting. The estimate lists stones by position so you can see where the work goes.
Loose edges and lifted tiles underfoot
A lifted tile or a loose edge on a hearth is a trip hazard as well as a fireplace fault. Hearths sit in busy parts of the room, and people step on and around them daily.
Where a loose piece could catch a foot, we can make it safe on the day, with your approval, until the full repair. The permanent repair then follows on the agreed date. We note both steps on the estimate so you can see what is temporary and what is final.

Hearth questions from homes in Twin Lakes North
How does the inspection discount work for hearth repairs?
Save 10% on the hearth lines you approve, provided you book them within 72 hours of your free inspection. The hours run from your own inspection visit rather than from your call. If you decide later, the estimate keeps its written price.
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.

Yes. Call (645) 465-4171 or use the form, and say what the hearth is made of and what has changed. A free inspection is booked at a time that suits you, and the findings are explained before an estimate is written.
