A standard fireplace surround installation typically takes between half a day and a full day, depending on the complexity of the work involved. If building work is required to open up or modify a chimney breast, the project may take longer. We will provide a clear timeline during your free home survey so there are no surprises.

A hearth is required for any fireplace that houses a gas or solid fuel appliance, as it provides essential heat protection for your floor. For electric fires, a hearth is not always necessary from a safety standpoint but is often included for aesthetic purposes. We supply a range of hearths in granite, slate, and limestone to complement your chosen surround.

Yes, a fireplace surround can absolutely be fitted without a chimney. Many of our customers install a surround against a flat wall with an electric fire or a balanced flue gas fire that vents through an external wall. This is a popular choice in modern homes, apartments, and properties where the chimney has been removed.

Victorian homes look stunning with cast iron combination fireplaces, ornate marble surrounds, or tiled insert designs that reflect the period's character. We also carry reproduction Victorian-style surrounds that pair beautifully with modern gas or electric fires for the best of both worlds. Visit our Cardiff showroom to see a range of period-appropriate options.

Fireplace surround prices vary depending on the material, size, and design.
