We have dozens and dozens of arched inserts patiently waiting to be restored, but it all takes time, sourcing missing bits, doing smith work, shot blasting and black leading, but this is a typical one...

We bought this, like so many others, coated in paint and have recently finished stripping it and its OK. Its not the cleanest one we've ever had but its fine and is a little cheaper than normal.There...

about a year ago I posted a pic of part of a huge collection of companion sets on our Facebook page, about 20 boxes of bits, they'd all been taken to pieces and I stupidly thought my children would en...

Decent sized marble fire shown here just before we removed it from a house in Lenzie. A touch more detail than some we see with its extra inner trim and mini capitols. The surface has dulled a bit ove...

The smallest fireplace we've ever had, and we bought it from another fireplace dealer who said it was the smallest fireplace he'd ever had too. Goodness knows what sort of surround would have fitted i...

One of the fancier patterned inserts we see, this one with a 17 inch opening which is quite large. It dates to around 1870 and this one came from Dundee. I'm not great at updating the site when items ...

Just a quick pic to show a Georgian hob waiting to be restored, as anyone who has been down to our yard will realise, we have a lot of fires waiting to be restored (as of the last stock take, over 400...

A typical and attractive pine surround with a rather decorative arched insert, the sort of thing that we generally always have in stock (though not always quite restored yet) We try to always have a g...

Rather unusual this one, its the sort of style you see in very grand hallways, where indeed this one came from (in Dundee). Its very grand and very black and would look terrific with a wood burner or ...

Nice simple pine surround of the sort that can be found in houses and flats from the beginning to the end of the C19th, The inside legs of the surround are deeper than the outside legs on this one, wh...

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.Surround now sold....

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). ...

This surround is lucky to still be about. From a cottage that was being demolished outside Falkirk, half the building had been pushed over and we could see this half buried by rubble. It was too dange...

I think this dates to about 1910 and it came from a house down towards Irvine where it was in the kitchen where a range had been, hence its rather large size. Just a good simple hardwood surrou...

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

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...

Quite arts and crafts in their style, a couple of fire screens from a grand house up north. Oak with a rear leg to prop them up. One of them has the top trim missing and if someone out there has a bet...

We have half a dozen of these from the old Mearns st school in Greenock that was pulled down a while ago (we also have the massive stone surrounds that went with them). They all had 8 inch tiles in th...

Not looking its best in these pics, but we set it up in a hurry for someone and its turned out to be too big for his room, but it was such a pig to set up that we can't face taking it down again-not y...

Not something we ever come across now, they always go to auction, but this one was being used as a planter outside a farm when we bought it and we were told that it originally came from the old Lochwi...

Just one of the many new fires that we've recently bought. This dates to about 1880 and is from the west end of Edinburgh. Its been polished, but can easily be black leaded again. The one with the bra...

Good simple pine surround shown with a rather unusual square insert which is one of 12 we recently bought from a school in Greenock that was demolished. The fires were originally tiled with an oversiz...

We've recently taken 3 of these stone fires out of a school that was being demolished in Greenock. They are a pale coloured stone under the thick paint and should scrub up pretty well.Its a type we,ve...
