Original Inglenook Fireplace Restoration in Essex and London
Some inglenook fireplaces just need a wood burning stove to bring them into the 21st century, others require complete restoration including new hearths, brickwork, lime mortar pointing and fireplace mantels to ensure they blend sympathetically into their surroundings. Understanding and using ancient materials and heritage friendly conservation methods while peeling back generations of alterations, to unveil an original inglenook, is an interesting and satisfying part of our work.
