Victorian and Edwardian Fireplace Specialists
Chelmsford is home to many Victorian and Edwardian properties, each with unique architectural details. Restoring fireplaces from these periods requires specialist knowledge and experience.
We understand the construction methods, materials and decorative styles commonly found in period homes. Our team carefully restores original features while sourcing suitable replacement components where necessary.
Whether your fireplace requires minor repairs or a complete restoration, we ensure every detail remains sympathetic to the property’s character.
Marble Fireplace Restoration
Marble fireplaces add sophistication and luxury to any room, but years of wear can lead to staining, chips, scratches and surface damage.
Our marble fireplace restoration services include:

We ensure all hearths are installed to current safety requirements while complementing the style of the fireplace and surrounding room.

- Heritage properties
We understand the importance of preserving original features and work carefully to maintain the architectural integrity of each property.
Where original components cannot be saved, we source appropriate reclaimed or reproduction materials that match the existing design.
