We removed an original Victorian marble surround and a reproduction cast iron arched insert from a property undergoing an extensive restoration. The marble surround was stripped into separate parts before all the parts were polished and then rebuilt. The cast iron arch was sandblasted and refinished in a traditional grate polish finish before being measured for a made to measure gas coal effect fire. The whole fireplace was reinstalled on a slate hearth for use as a gas coal effect fireplace.

We took on a complete restoration of a Victorian combination fireplace. The restoration included sandblasting, replacing the hood, welding the back and refinishing in our black heatproof paint. We are one of the only, if not the only company, who can carry out this sort of restoration in house from start to finish.
The fireplace at our starting point, note the hood had previously been broken off.
The same fireplace after sandblasting, the hood and a set of front bar and ashpan cover had been added. We still had the firebrick to set and the spray paint finish to complete.

We had 2 tables in the workshop today in need of an overhaul. Paint was stripped from the legs and base and then the base was polished by hand, unfortunately some of the chrome plating was too far gone and some rust remains. The table top was polished by machine to a high finish.

We removed an antique original Victorian cast iron surround and Victorian cast iron tiled insert fireplace for restoration. Once back in the workshop it was all sandblasted in house to get it back to the bare metal of the original casting. From there a light coat of black paint was applied before everything was polished to produce a pewter like effect, the remaining black paint in the depth of the detail makes everything stand out and makes a stunning fireplace.
Once refitted, we tiled the hearth with the customers own tiles. The fireplace was fitted as a purely decorative feature, maybe one day housing a gel burner. Pics up soon. Uncategorized
