Period Fireplace Restoration
Reigate has many beautiful period homes, including Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian properties. Original fireplaces in these homes are often valuable features that deserve careful restoration.
KT Fireplace Restoration specialises in restoring traditional fireplaces, including:
• Cast iron fireplaces

• Decorative hearths
Our team carefully removes years of soot, paint, and damage to reveal the original craftsmanship beneath. Where components are missing or damaged, we source suitable replacements or carry out sympathetic repairs to maintain the authenticity of the fireplace.
Modern Fireplace Refurbishment
Even modern fireplaces can require refurbishment due to wear, outdated designs, or renovation projects. Our team can modernise your fireplace while maintaining efficiency and safety.
Modern fireplace refurbishment may include:
• Installing a new hearth
• Updating fireplace surrounds

• Improving ventilation
• Cosmetic upgrades for contemporary interiors
Whether you want to restore a classic feature or update a modern living space, we can help you achieve the ideal result.
Fireplace Hearth Repair and Replacement
The hearth is an essential part of any fireplace, protecting flooring and enhancing the overall appearance. Over time, hearths can crack, become stained, or simply no longer suit the room’s design.
Our hearth refurbishment services include repairing damaged hearths or replacing them with new materials such as slate, granite, limestone, or marble. We ensure all hearth installations comply with current safety regulations while complementing the style of the fireplace.
Chimney Breast and Surround Repairs
Fireplace refurbishment often involves repairs to the surrounding chimney breast or fireplace opening. Cracked plaster, loose bricks, and structural wear can affect both safety and appearance.
Our specialists carry out careful repairs to stabilise the fireplace structure, restore brickwork, and prepare the area for a clean, attractive finish. We ensure that all structural elements are sound before completing cosmetic work.
