Absolutely. Choosing a fireplace can be difficult when there are so many options out there. That’s why we’re here to guide you through your choices, based on your space, layout, lifestyle, and design preferences. You’ll receive clear, honest advice to help you choose a fireplace that looks right and suits how you live.

Yes, though the exact level of energy efficiency depends on the type of fire you choose. Electric fires offer controlled heat with minimal energy waste, while modern gas fires and bioethanol fires provide effective warmth with improved efficiency compared to older models. We’ll always help you choose an option that balances comfort, efficiency, and design.

Not always. Electric and bioethanol fires don’t need a chimney or flue, as they don’t burn fuel. This makes them a great option for modern homes or apartments. Gas and wood-burning fires may require a chimney or flue, but this depends on the property – we assess this during the initial survey.

Installation times vary depending on the fireplace type and the work involved. Simple electric fire installations can often be completed in a day, while bespoke or structural projects may take longer. You’ll be given clear timescales upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes, we specialise in bespoke fireplace designs. From custom surrounds and tailored sizing to complete feature installations, each project is designed to suit your space and style. This approach allows for greater flexibility, better proportions, and a more considered final result.

• British Fires

Service requirements depend on the type of fireplace. Gas fires should typically be serviced once a year for safety and efficiency, while wood-burning stoves also benefit from annual checks. Electric and bioethanol fires usually require minimal maintenance, which we can advise on during installation.
