Complete fireplace refurbishment services
Every fireplace refurbishment project is different. Some fireplaces require simple cosmetic improvements while others need extensive structural work. KT Fireplace Restoration provides a comprehensive service tailored to the condition of your fireplace.
Our refurbishment services may include:
Fireplace cleaning and restoration
Years of soot, smoke and general wear can leave fireplaces looking tired and discoloured. We carefully clean and restore original materials such as stone, marble, brick and cast iron to bring back their natural appearance.
Fireplace repairs
Cracks, loose tiles, damaged surrounds and deteriorating mortar are common issues in older fireplaces. Our team carries out professional repairs that restore structural integrity while maintaining the original style.
Fireplace surround restoration
The fireplace surround is a key design feature. We restore marble, stone and wooden surrounds, repairing chips, scratches and staining so the fireplace once again becomes a focal point in the room.
Opening up blocked fireplaces
Many fireplaces have been sealed or covered over during previous renovations. We carefully reopen and restore these fireplaces, revealing the original structure and ensuring it is suitable for modern use.
Hearth refurbishment and replacement
A worn or damaged hearth can detract from the overall appearance of the fireplace. We restore or replace hearths using high-quality materials that complement the design of the fireplace and comply with safety regulations.
Repointing and brickwork restoration
For fireplaces with exposed brickwork, we repair and repoint mortar joints to improve both durability and appearance.
