Fireplace or stove – the right solution for your home

Short answer: We help with the masonry part around fireplaces and stoves: renovation, repairs and adaptations. The right approach depends on the existing structure, the chimney condition and the appliance you want to use.

We assess everything on site and propose a long-term solution with clear boundaries—so you know what is included and what needs coordination (inspection/approval).

  • Renovation of an existing fireplace
  • Masonry surround or front
  • Adaptation for inserts/cassettes

Common fireplace work

We build and renovate open fireplaces, rebuild surrounds, adapt masonry for inserts, and repair cracks.

Focus is function, safety and a look that fits your home.

Renovating an existing fireplace

Damaged joints, cracks or loose bricks can make a fireplace unsafe. We restore the masonry and carry out necessary repairs.

After inspection, you receive a clear recommendation.

Stove insert or cassette

An insert can improve efficiency and control. We adapt the masonry and ensure the connection to the chimney works.

We help you decide if this is the right option.

Fire safety and clearances

Materials and clearances to combustible surfaces are critical for safety.

We use suitable materials for the construction and make sure the solution is technically sound.

Draft and chimney condition

A fireplace only works with proper draft. If the chimney is worn or undersized, performance and safety can suffer.

We assess the chimney and suggest measures if needed.

Materials that suit the house

Brick, plaster or lime mortar? We choose materials that match the structure and the look.

In older houses, the right material is key to durability.

How it works

We start with a free visit to assess the fireplace, chimney and your needs. You then receive a quote or cost proposal.

We carry out the work and keep you updated along the way.
