Fireplace Restoration
STONE FIREPLACE RESTORATION & REPAIR
Years of use, accidental damage and unsuitable previous alterations can leave original fireplaces cracked, stained, incomplete or hidden beneath later finishes.
Our experienced stonemasons carefully assess the existing stonework before recommending a sympathetic approach that respects the fireplace and the character of the property.
Stone Fireplace Restoration Services
Stone fireplaces are often an important focal point and original architectural feature within a building.
Stone Fireplace Repairs
Cracked, chipped or damaged stonework can often be repaired without replacing the entire fireplace.
We carefully select a repair method and finish suited to the type, age and condition of the existing stone.
Replacement Fireplace Components
Where sections are missing or too badly damaged to retain, we can manufacture matching replacement pieces in our Sussex workshop.
This can include mantels, hearths, jambs, lintels, surrounds and decorative architectural details.
Cleaning and Removing Previous Finishes
Paint, dirt and unsuitable coatings can hide the natural appearance of original stonework.
Where appropriate, we can carefully clean the fireplace and remove previous finishes using methods selected for the particular stone and its condition.
Restoring Original Character
Historic fireplaces may have been altered, covered or repaired using inappropriate materials over time.
We consider the original proportions, profiles and architectural details to create a restoration that sits naturally within the surrounding interior.
We restore original stone fireplaces with care, revealing their craftsmanship and returning character to the heart of the room.
