Design Dilemma Renovating Fireplaces

fireplace advice on restoring

5 years ago

Hi we’re looking for some advice and tips on how we restore our lovely fireplaces. Several
Of them have parts missing and one has had the insert painted in black paint. Any help on places we can contact to help restore them? We need insets, hearts and the drawers. Thanks all

Hello,

Good morning Ivonne,

We are a Microcement company in North London.

We have renovated several Fireplaces with Microcement.

Please find some pictures attached.

If you are interested you can send an email to sales@deoracement.com my name is Sandra and I will be happy to send you prices, color chart, etc ...

We could for example apply the Fireplace in Microcemento Blanco Hueso with trowel effects that make it look like marble.

It's an idea.

A good starting point is photos and plenty of measurements followed by a trawl of all the architectural salvage merchants you can find. Don’t forget eBay either.

Hello Debbie, Why not give a company like Opopsi a call.. They may be able to print something bespoke for you.. They also do canvases or Mural type.. I have not used them as yet but I think they could help.. I would say no to borders and maybe consider a wallpaper idea.. I think they do that too! Maybe you could even consider a more bespoke arrangement rather than lots and lots of photo's some could be overlapped or semi transparent so you get the effect of double exposures but with different images.. So it's more creative than a tile effect.. .. : ))

Your dad did good work. The fireplace looks as if it just needs a good cleaning. Look online to find out how to clean it yourself, or hire a reputable (licensed, bonded, and insured) professional to do it for you.

I've always used local Salvage Companies and Ebay for whole fireplaces, inserts and various parts. If you know the sizes that you want, then you can usually find what you want. We're lucky here we've got quite a few salvage yards near us.

In my opinion you look for a local fireplace specialist who can source replacement baskets and sell you a new insert and hearth where you need them. In my opinion the best result is achieved by taking off your existing surround, put down a new hearth (often taller than the originals which is partly why the fire surround has to come out), adding a new fire insert where the original is lost and then replacing the fire surround.
