Mix & Match Fireplaces

I had a call earlier today which has prompted me to write this - the caller asked a question which is often asked but unfortunatley isn’t made clear on the website.

“Is it possible to mix and match your fireplaces?”

The answer in short is yes; pretty much nearly every fireplace can be swapped and changed about to create your perfect fireplace. Obviously sizes have to be taken into account but as long as the parts fit there is no reason why you can’t change a surround, swap the cast iron insert or have a different hearth.

The best way to work out if something is going to fit and work together is to ask us. If you think of something you would like simply call us on 01522 536373 and we will talk you through everything you need to know.
