Our latest media wall installation in Bromley.
Our latest media wall install in Bromley features the British Fires New Forest 1200 electric fire. The client was re-modelling their house and had a room that required a feature wall.
Having visited our Beckenham showroom, they decided on the New Forest 1200 as the fire. Size wise, this fire would fit perfectly with their new television. Whilst allowing ample space on either side for the design of cupboards and shelving we had both agreed on. Credit where credit is due the design largely was the client’s own vision for the room. It was just a pleasure to bring it to life with the British fires 1200.
For the media wall installation, the framework was created using softwood and MDF. MDF is perfect for this type of application as it does not distort. It can also be painted easily. The electrics, lighting and fire were all installed and left ready for decoration. Once the decoration was applied and dry the television could be installed.
A lot of work to do including the finishing and final painting but perfect media wall at the end. Either fully fitted or just supplied, it’s a pleasure to work with the British Fires New Forest range.

Our Orpington fireplace installation story began when Mr & Mrs Aston contacted us to help with fireplaces for their newly purchased home in Orpington.
The house a Victorian terraced had both downstairs rooms knocked through by the previous owners. The Aston’s decided the room needed a feature and set about choosing fireplaces. After much deliberation it was decided that a pair of white marble Flat Victorian surrounds with cast iron inserts, gas fires and black granite hearths would fit the bill.
The chimney breasts were bricked up by a previous owner. The job involved opening up the chimneys and testing the soundness and draw. Apart from a sweep a new cowl on one of the pots, they were in good order and ready for the new surrounds.
Over the next couple of days of this Orpington installation story our fitters ran gas to the chimneys. Installed the new fireplace surrounds, hearths and fires. Making good the walls ready for decoration by the customer, the room now has two definite focal points. The new fireplaces have transformed the Ashton’s room.
White marble has traditionally been used for fireplaces. It is soft to work, making it ideal for carving. Victorians introduced cast iron inserts to improve the effectiveness of the open fire.
