John and Peter were looking for a new fire installation in Croydon, when they contacted us.
Peter had seen theNuFlame Energis Hole in the Wall (HIW) gas fire on our website. He hoped it would be perfect for their room. The house was newly built with a class 2 flue, so their choice of fire was restricted. They wanted an efficient gas fire to boost the heat in the Spring and Autumn months. As well as provide additional heat if required in the middle of winter. A new fire would improve the room with a proper focal point.
After a quick site survey, it was established that the fire installation in Croydon would be straight forward. Our fitter cut a hole in the plasterboard. Checked the draw in the chimney was suitable. Also that the existing termination was correct for the new fire.
On the day we cut away the plasterboard to expose the full chimney opening. Sealed the board and the cavity gap, then installed the new gas fire with the backing panel. Leaving the room ready for decoration by John and Peter.

The story of a Stonehenge installation in Dartford.
Faith had always hated the old tiled fireplace in the living room of her mothers 1950’s house in Dartford, but her mother quite liked it. Unfortunately for her mother a pipe burst bring down the lounge ceiling and damaging the tiles on the fireplace. One insurance claim later and Faith was helping her mother choose a fireplace and new flooring.
A visit to our showroom a site survey a quote to the insurance company and the deal was done. A Stonehenge fireplace in Spanish limestone along with a gas fire. The gas fire had high level controls to save any bending down to light and control the flames. The fireplace needed to be made to a special size so that the power points did not need moving. This was no trouble due to our made to measure service. Due to new flooring the hearth needed to be made and installed first. So that was supplied ahead of the surround. Allowing the flooring contractors to fit the flooring in the required timeframe.
Once this was complete we went back to site and completed the Stonehenge installation in Dartford. We installed the fireplace surround and gas fire on the already installed hearth. We then made good to the wall ready for decoration by the customers decorator. Unfortunately we don’t have any before pictures but the transformation was amazing.
