About our restorations:
Our fireplaces and surrounds are restored and finished using traditional methods and materials.

This simply adds to the character of the piece in our view.

Installation:
If you are installing a heating appliance in your home, it is your responsibility to ensure that you or your builder follows building regulations and, where applicable, complies with HETAS and GAS SAFE regulations in the UK. Cast Iron Fireplace Restorations Ltd cannot accept responsibility for the performance or suitability of an individual fireplace, which should be assessed prior to installation by a suitably qualified installer.
If your fireplace is purely for decorative purposes, the HETAS and GAS SAFE regulations do not apply.
A reliable local installer or builder can normally be found using an online service such as www.mybuilder.com or www.myjobquote.co.uk
