I've grown to hate this fire, which is quite unfair really as everyone else seems to love it. It was thickly painted white and as I couldn't get the tiles out I've had to strip the whole thing by hand...

Dating to the turn of the century, a tall wooden fire surround with overmantel mirror and small glazed cupboards either side, the sort of fire we sometimes see in the grand flats around Novar drive in...

We've just finished restoring this fire that came from a late Victorian tenement in Morningside, Edinburgh. 16 inch opening ...

We've had a couple of these tiled inserts over the years, generally from Edinburgh's New Town. This one is fresh in and we haven't had a chance to restore it yet (mend the crack shown in the last pic ...

Nice big simple pine surround from a big detached house in Helensburgh dating to the 1880's, shown with an insert that appears elsewhere on the site from the same period....

There's a lot going on with this one. From a grand 1870's house in Edinburgh, from the drawing room where it sat in a carved marble surround (which was kept- having a stove installed instead). ...

One of my favourite tiled inserts with a slightly gothic canopy and with its original tiles which have a rather chinese feel to them. Shown with a pine surround we are still to restore (patch the dama...

Fresh in, having spent some years resting in a garage in Edinburghs west end. 18 inch opening, which is bit bigger than the norm, and a well cast and bold design on the metal work which, together with...

Really lovely dark grey marble fire from a job we did recently on Byers road, and its shown with the insert that originally came with it. Its got an unusually thin shelf and curious double facia but ...

Nice clean marble fire surround from the Dowanhill area of Glasgow. It has a badly filled in chip on the front of the shelf which you can see in the pic, but I'm sure someone can re do this to a much ...

Freshly back from its jaunt to the blacksmith and shotblasters, a pretty little combination fire dating to the 1880's. With these fires, if you want to use them with a living flame gas fire, yo...

This may be Victorian, but its definitely more of an Edwardian style. Made of a wood called Deal or American walnut which doesn't strip well, so we're leaving it painted. Decent size for a living room...

This poor old fire languished in the back room being overlooked for years, painted purple and with about 1/3 of its tiles smashed. So I thought I'd do it up. It only really needed to be shot blasted a...

Good sized oak surround in clean condition, from job we did in Leith walk in Edinburgh recently....

Been waiting patiently for a while for its chance to be restored this one. From a large council building near Falkirk which was the subject of a rush demolition job, so we had to drop everything to na...

Nice tiled insert with a 16 inch opening which is your standard living room size. The insert can of course be extended to fit a larger aperture by attaching a new steel plate to the front and re blast...

Good sized white marble fire surround no longer painted pink, which if it could speak, it would be truly grateful for. It has a few surface scratches which I've tried to show on one of the clos...

In very good condition, not burnt out at all which is unusual for something thats a couple of hundred years old. Typical Georgian foliate motifs and balloon back....

Very attractive tiled insert, and quite an early one, dating to about 1870. We've never seen this pattern of casting before, really very gothic. It came from a flat above a shop in Wishaw....

There is a very poor pic of this earlier on the website, and this one is far from perfect, its so big I can't stand far enough back to take a photo..Some of the mouldings have become a little loose, b...

This fire has only travelled a couple of miles from us and dates to about 1910-20. We had to have a new metal shelf made for it and blast off a few layers of white paint but thats all that was needed....

We bought this on a recent trip to Inverness and I think its one of the nicest inserts we've ever had, and so unusual.Its large ( sizes to follow ) and as well as the brass, it has these amazing tiles...

Good simple pine surround which has been varnished by a previous owner, shown with a reproduction insert, not something we generally bother with, but this one had such attractive tiles......

Every year I pick a lame duck of a fire to be sent off to be repaired. It feels like an annual treat to restore a fire that isn't really economically worth while, but makes me feel good. This fire wa...

Decent pine surround which we've put with a Georgian insert, though they can of course be sold separately. They both came from Edinburgh, the insert from a flat up Bruntsfield way....
