Professional Fireplace Restoration in North London
Many fireplaces in North London properties date back over a century. During renovations, fireplaces are often removed, plastered over or replaced with inappropriate modern alternatives. Restoring these original features can significantly improve the aesthetic and value of a property.
KT Fireplace Restoration carefully assesses each fireplace before recommending the most suitable restoration approach. Our work may include uncovering original fireplaces, repairing cast iron inserts, restoring tiles, replacing damaged hearths, repointing brickwork, and reinstating traditional surrounds.
Every project is completed with attention to historical accuracy and high craftsmanship standards. We work with traditional materials and proven restoration techniques to ensure your fireplace complements the style of your home.

Not all fireplaces require full restoration. In many cases, fireplaces simply need repair or refurbishment to restore their appearance and safety.
Our fireplace repair services may include:
Cast iron fireplace restoration
Replacement or repair of broken tiles
Hearth repair and replacement
Repointing internal chimney brickwork
Fireplace surround restoration
Cleaning and polishing cast iron inserts
Reinstating blocked fireplaces
We take great care to match existing materials and maintain the original character of your fireplace wherever possible.
