Transforming Your Living Space: Our Bespoke Fireplace Services

At Suffolk Stoves, we know that a beautiful stove deserves an equally stunning backdrop. That is why our expertise extends far beyond simply installing the appliance itself. We offer a complete, end-to-end fireplace transformation service, handling everything from the careful restoration of existing period features to complete structural knock-outs and comprehensive rebuilds.

Creating the Perfect Chamber – When we open up an old fireplace, the newly exposed chamber needs to be prepared safely and styled to suit your home. Our experienced teams can line your new fireplace opening in a variety of ways. We offer traditional brickwork, sleek fireboard for a clean, minimalist look, or specialist decorative panels available in various patterns. For premium chamber sets, we proudly partner with Capital Fireplaces, ensuring a flawless, high-quality finish that perfectly complements your chosen stove.

Framing the Fire: Mantels and Beams – The right mantel or beam acts as the perfect frame for your fire. We supply and fit a wonderful range of options, including beautifully crafted wooden beams from Focus Fireplaces.

However, safety is paramount. If your specific stove installation means the beam must sit close to the heat source, traditional wood may not meet the strict “distance to combustibles” safety regulations. In these cases, we offer a brilliant solution: ceramic “Focuscast” beams, also from Focus Fireplaces. These non-combustible beams meticulously mimic the grain and texture of real oak, completely eliminating the fire risk without sacrificing the rustic aesthetic.

For those seeking an elegant stone surround, we offer exquisite stone mantels from Capital Fireplaces, alongside the beautifully crafted natural stone surrounds from Farmington Fireplaces.

The Foundation: Premium Hearths – The foundation of any safe and stylish fireplace is the hearth. We supply and expertly fit a wide variety of premium materials, including:

• Slate: Choose the natural, textured charm of riven slate or the smooth elegance of honed slate.

• Granite: Available in both understated honed finishes or high-gloss polished surfaces.

• Flagstone: Our durable black or grey flagstone slabs are incredibly popular for a traditional, country-cottage aesthetic.

We also regularly source other bespoke stone varieties upon request. From the initial knock-out to the final polish of your new hearth, Suffolk Stoves manages the entire project in-house. Visit our showroom to explore these materials and start planning your ultimate fireplace makeover today.
