Just a little up date here at Victorian fireplaces.

We have our new signs up now, our new offices and showroom are taking shape inside. We have had to remove some walls to make the showroom bigger and the dust it made went all over the place, the clean up has begun that dust is just every where. The stores area is now all in place and fireplaces are in the racking  poised for delivery, and today we have had our first deliveries to us and every thing went nice and smoothly. The new telephone system is going in today, the installation of the system has been a bit drawn out but that's how it is some times wires everywhere.  All calls are being answered from our mobiles for today. Tomorrow at 10 am we should go live and all the telephone lines should be back to normal hopefully! All our office desks and computers will be arriving in the morning, and once set up we will be raring to go.

Victorian fireplaces are approaching 24 years trading, that does seem a long time especially when most of those years has been selling our fireplaces through mail order and then in 1998 through the internet very much being pioneers the only fireplace company in the uk trading in this way. Yes we were the first fireplace company selling our fireplaces on the web. To mark our twenty fifth anniversary we have decided to move to better premises just round the corner. Although we are doing it over a year early. So some big changes here at Victorian Fireplaces so I hope you will bear with us when we start the move, I hope it will go smoothly but am sure there will be some hiccups a long the way.

We hope to have the offices set up and all phones working within a couple of weeks and the warehouse should be moved across within a week. Our factory unit is on the move as well its only moving next door to our old unit. March is going to be a very busy month and very exciting.

I thought it was time to put a face to one of the name's here at Victorian fireplaces, Hannah Elston (Knapp) has been with us for quite some time now, two years to be precise. Hannah is available now on the telephone to take your order or answer your numerous questions, Hannah is quite well placed to answer some of your more technical questions because she happens to be my youngest daughter and has been around fireplaces and watching them getting made and delivered all of her life.  Also Hannah has just married Tom from Elston Fireplace Fitting. So get those questions ready or your fireplace order and Hannah will be only too pleased to take your call.

More staff members will appear here soon at Victorian Fireplaces.

Fireplace at Reigate Priory

I came across this fireplace last night and decided to share it with you, a truly magnificent 16th century fireplace you must agree.  The stone part of the fireplace dates from around 1540 and was put in by William Howard, whose arms are at the top of the fireplace arch. The fireplace surround dates from the early 16th century and was originally installed in Nonsuch Palace in Ewell, having been commissioned by Henry VIII and thought to have been designed by the German artist, Hans Holbein. It was later moved to Bletchingley Place for Anne of Cleves, Henry's divorced wife. Then in 1655 the Countess of Peterborough, had the surround moved to Reigate Priory.
