About Us Fireplace Deliveries If you have ever read our about us section on our web pages, you might be forgiven for thinking does he really still do that any more – or is he sat behind  a desk with his feet up. Well for the past nine weeks our regular van driver Eddie has been off work with a crushed hand, he was carrying a very large cast iron combination fireplace with another person and unfortunately fell, with the fireplace landing on his hand.  He went to hospital and to cut a long story short he had an operation on his hand, and had some metal screws through his hand to hold his little finger back on. he is now back on the road to recovery and should be back in his van which I know he his missing. I hope! Any way back to the story. Over the last nine weeks I have been delivering all our fireplace deliveries, some of our customers might recognize me from when they come into the showroom to buy a fireplace. It is very interesting to see our end result and see where our fireplaces end up, and the type of house’s that they start their new life in. To give you an idea of my commitment to our delivery service and the type of deliveries we do here at Victorian fireplaces. Friday South Devon it was a timed drop, I was there for 6am then onto North Devon for before 8 am (just made it) Then on to Bristol for an am delivery got there at 10am. Then over the bridge (at a cost of £10.90 very expensive) into South Wales then up to Lydney, arrived at 11.50 am, all done before dinner time and all customers very happy. Saturday load van for Monday’s deliveries which happens to be a quick trip up to Aberdeen (every three to four weeks we have a trip up to Scotland) for a timed drop between 7am and 8 am.
