Rather unusual surround carefully made out of two contrasting types of timber, shown before we've sanded it down and waxed it which, to be honest, we're reluctant to do as its a bit of a 'marmite' fir...

Had a bit of a hard life this one. It came from a farm just north of Dundee and dates to about 1800, so its quite early, and a lovely design, but its had a fair bit of 'character' given to it in the w...

We had 3 of these from a job we did in the nurses quarters of the old Victoria infirmary last year-there would have been more but for the twin ravages of the damp in the building and the thoroughness ...

Great little combination that we restored for a customer, finding a grate and even making an ashpan for them before they disappeared off the face of the earth. Rather annoying but their loss is someon...

We bought about 8 of these some time ago from a large Victorian school in Greenock that was being pulled down, All with large stone surrounds and all, alas with quite a lot of damage to the tiles. Exc...

Nice oak surround waiting to be stripped from a flat in Marchmont, Edinburgh dating to about 1890....

Rather a nice fire with little copper buttons on the canopy and a central roundel on the facia. 16 inch opening....

Really grand black marble surround from an 1870's property in Dundee. Its never been painted so still has its original sheen, and it has a lovely edge to the shelf, which is a hefty old weight in itse...

Nice Georgian hob with its top decorative panel which we removed, along with a similar one, from a house up Perthshire way. We've not restored it yet, or dipped the pine surround, but it should be a c...

From the centre of Glasgow, this magnificent surround. It was from a large merchants house and is mahogany, so would need to be hand stripped, though I think its possibly nicer white? Lots of f...

Just set this one up. From the south side of Glasgow and a building dating to the 1870's. Nice with the square blocks at the top of each leg as opposed to the usual moulding. A bit of a stain at one e...

From Trinity in Edinburgh, rather a nice tiled insert still with its original tiles and so on. 16 inch opening....

From an early Victorian house, a lovely but very heavy insert with decorative cast side panels and an 18 inch opening...

From a Georgian house where we were able to see the smashed remains of most of the fireplaces in the scrap pile (except the marble one which was smashed in the skip) Fume fume fume. One small s...

We bought 2 of these from a farm up by Gleneagles a few weeks ago. This one is now sold but we have its matching one, albeit without its back waiting to be cleaned up. Sizes to follow. T...

We bought this from a farm in Perthshire where I think it had only been installed for 10 years or so, which often makes them murder to remove as the cements are much stronger. Its an old fireplace, Vi...

From an 1870's flat, this was actually in a bedroom, though the opening size is fairly large. Its a typical Victorian style and we're selling it a little bit cheaper than normal as it has a bit of dis...

Nice black marble surround from the south side of Edinburgh dating to the late 1870's. Slightly more unusual in having the inner trim. worryingly, no tools were required to remove it as it pretty much...

Lovely arched insert with an 19 inch opening (unusually big) that we've had extended to be 42 inches sq, really nice crisp pattern on it. The surround came from an 1860's house over in Dunoon which w...

One of several fire surrounds we bought from a demolition in Carnoustie a while back, all ever so slightly different, and all surprisingly hard to remove. The one shown was the unlucky first one to be...

Well its taken an aeon to finish restoring this one, but at long last, victory. This is the fire you can see earlier on the web site as gas ref 1811, shown in situ, recently exposed but still partiall...

The first bellows we've ever had I think, and they look pretty old. So old in fact, they could do with having the leather re done but I think it must be quite unusual to see such old examples a...

Nicer than average, and also larger than most, this lovely surround came from a large house in Prestwick dating to the 1880's. Having the angled inner trim makes it a more delicate looking thing and i...

About as small as you will get while still having the standard chunky legs. ( you do see skinnier surrounds but the legs are little more than strips of mouldings). It actually came from Dumfries, alon...

Good early half round insert that we've had extended. This basically means that we've fitted a new flat plate to the front of the insert, cut around the detailing so that the overall sizes are bigger,...
