Restoring Period Fireplaces
Many homes in Ipswich feature beautiful original fireplaces that have been hidden, painted over or damaged over the years. Period fireplaces often contain intricate detailing that deserves careful restoration rather than replacement.
Our restoration process carefully removes years of dirt, paint and corrosion before repairing damaged components and restoring decorative features. We aim to retain as much of the original material as possible, ensuring an authentic finish that complements your home’s character.
Whether your fireplace dates from the Victorian, Edwardian or Georgian period, we have the expertise to restore it sympathetically.
Cast Iron Fireplace Restoration
Cast iron fireplaces remain one of the most popular period features found in homes across Suffolk. Years of use and exposure can leave them covered in rust, chipped paint and surface damage.
Our cast iron restoration service includes:
- Rust removal
- Paint stripping
- Surface preparation
- Protective finishing
- Black grate polish application
- Replacement of damaged components where required
The result is a beautifully restored fireplace that looks remarkably close to its original appearance.
Marble Fireplace Restoration
Marble fireplaces add elegance and sophistication to any room, but they can suffer from staining, chips, scratches and dull surfaces over time.
KT Fireplace Restoration carefully restores marble fireplaces using specialist cleaning, polishing and repair techniques that enhance the natural beauty of the stone without causing damage.
We can restore:
- White marble fireplaces
- Black marble fireplaces
- Carrara marble
- Decorative marble surrounds
- Marble hearths
Our aim is to revive the natural shine while preserving the stone’s original character.
Stone Fireplace Restoration
Natural stone fireplaces require specialist care to prevent unnecessary wear and damage. Different types of stone each require their own restoration methods.
We carefully clean, repair and restore limestone, sandstone, granite and other natural stone fireplaces using appropriate techniques designed to protect the material while improving its appearance.
Our stone restoration services include crack repairs, cleaning, repointing, sealing and surface refinishing where appropriate.

Traditional brick fireplaces can become stained with soot, suffer mortar deterioration or develop structural issues over time.
Our brick fireplace restoration services include:
- Deep cleaning
- Mortar repointing
- Brick repairs
- Crack repairs
- Structural restoration
- Hearth improvements
We restore brick fireplaces to create a clean, attractive feature while maintaining their traditional appearance.
Fireplace Surround Restoration
The fireplace surround often provides the decorative focal point of the entire installation. Whether constructed from timber, stone, marble or cast iron, damaged surrounds can dramatically affect the overall appearance of the room.
We restore fireplace surrounds through careful repair, cleaning, refinishing and replacement of damaged decorative elements where necessary.
Each restoration is tailored to preserve the original design and craftsmanship.
Fireplace Hearth Restoration
A damaged hearth can affect both the appearance and functionality of your fireplace. Cracks, chips and worn surfaces can all be professionally repaired or replaced where necessary.
We restore hearths made from:
- Slate
- Granite
- Marble

Our aim is to create a durable, attractive finish that complements the restored fireplace.

Why Restoration Is Better Than Replacement

At KT Fireplace Restoration, we always recommend restoration whenever it is practical and appropriate.
