FAQs

Can soot be cleaned off of my fireplace?

Removal of soot is dependent on how deep the soot has penetrated the material. We do carry products and chemicals that help remove soot. This is always carried out on a best-efforts basis.

My fireplace is considered to be vintage, can you restore it sympathetically to its age?

Yes, we have removed and restored many period/vintage fireplaces and are used to the issues that arise. Any points of interest, special requirements, parts or issues will be pointed out and explained prior to any work being undertaken.

Can you repair chips in my fireplace?

Yes, we have a range of fillers that can fill chips and cracks.

Can my fireplace be restored in situ?

Yes, your fireplace can be restored in situ, although it is best to do this prior to redecorating, as the products and hand machines used can mark the wall coverings.

Do you use any chemicals during the process of restoration?

Yes, some chemicals are required along with many other products. Some do have a strong smell, but that is usually the polishes and fillers. All chemicals and products used are tried, tested and safe.

Will there be noisy machinery used in my house and will it be a dirty, dusty process?

There will be some hand machinery used, for example drills, grinders, rotary polishers and mechanical masonry chisels if we need to remove a fireplace. We will leave the fireplace area clean and tidy. If restored in situ, you may need to redecorate the chimney breast afterwards.

Is there any risk of damage to my fireplace if it is removed?

Our restorers are very experienced and will be as careful as possible so as not to add extra work. Any possibility of damage would be discussed prior to any works. For example, invisible hairline cracks in marble/stone and completely rusted, disintegrating cast iron (although both can be repaired).

How long will the process take?

Time is variable because all fireplaces are in different states of repair, and this is also dependent upon the size, amount of products used and drying time. Travel and travel time are also factors.

How much will it cost?

Cost is dependent on size, condition, parts required, time and distance. It is always more expensive to remove and re-fit a fireplace, but this does make for a better result, as all pieces and components can be individually cleaned, filled and polished, and interior cast iron can be industrially stripped (which is too dirty a process to be carried out in situ). Please use our contact form and we will provide an estimate.

Does my fireplace need to be removed to restore it?

In some cases, yes. If the restoration work involves stripping and respraying, then there is no other option.

We can arrange this, which does add to the cost, or you can arrange delivery and collection yourself.
