Fire and chimney restoration works

This project involved the installation of a new wood-burning stove, but before the appliance could be fitted, the existing open fireplace and chimney required essential structural repairs.

We carefully stripped back the existing fireplace, installed a new structural lintel, and rebuilt the outer brickwork to create the correct opening for the new stove. A new hearth was then installed, and the chimney breast was finished with a heat-resistant plaster skim, providing a clean, durable finish ready for decoration.

Externally, the chimney stack required new haunching to improve its structural integrity and prevent water ingress, ensuring the chimney remained weatherproof and secure for years to come.

To complete the installation, we fitted a new chimney liner and chimney cowl before carrying out the final installation of the wood-burning stove, delivering a safe, efficient, and fully compliant heating solution.
