Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.
All of our fireplaces are carved from solid British limestone. Our Bath stone is mined in Corsham, Wiltshire and our Cotswold stone is quarried in the North Cotswolds. We buy the stone as a block and cut it ourselves to make every fireplace.
The stone was formed 150 million years ago under a shallow, tropical sea that covered Bath and the Cotswold's, is made from tiny fossilised crustaceans. These features are beautiful and make each fireplace truly unique.
Bath stone is a creamy white colour and is our most popular choice. It is a very versatile stone and suits many different styles of interiors.
Cotswold stone has a warmer, more honey coloured hue.
We can quote for different British stones if you are after something specific, such as Ironstone or Portland. Please get in touch!
Natural stone is very hardwearing and will oxidise over time to become very robust. Ash will simply brush off the surface of the hearth.
It is safe to use household cleaning products on the stone – something like Cif will get out small marks and stains.
There are a few things we recommend avoiding. If burning candles on the fireplace, make sure to use a candle plate as the wax can seep into the pores of the stone. We also recommend keeping any harsh cleaners, such as white spirit, away from the stone.

Yes! We are happy to design and quote for a bespoke design for your fireplace. Please feel free to give us a call to discuss your bespoke project.
We recommend that fitting is carried out by either a stonemason or a builder. The fireplaces are extremely heavy and should not be fitted without any experience. Fireplaces will be supplied with instructions, mortar, and fixings.
We try to deliver every fireplace ourselves to ensure they arrive safely. In the few instances that this is not possible, the fireplace will be delivered on a pallet by a haulage company. All delivery is free and included in your purchase.
We can deliver anywhere within mainland UK. There may be some delays for deliveries to the Highlands. Please contact us before purchase to discuss delivery if you are an overseas customer or are based in one of the Isles/ Northern Ireland.
All of our surround sizes are based on opening width and height– the size of the “hole” which your surround is framing. Our most common opening sizes are 800mm x 800mm, 850mm x 850mm and 900mm x 900mm, which are the standard sizes we have available to purchase online. If you are unsure which size you need, please send us an email and we are happy to advise.
Once we receive your order, we will be in touch with a detailed drawing and order confirmation. We will then begin cutting the stone and carving the fireplaces straight away. Every fireplace is hand made to order. We will then arrange a delivery date.
Our fireplaces are on display at a number of stove stores throughout the country.
We do not have an independent showroom, however if you would like to come and visit our workshop please give us a call to arrange.
