Help needed to restore period fireplace

[lynda_maria]

Hi there,

Does anyone have any recommendations for restoring a late victorian fireplace?

I would like someone to restore the cast iron and tile a hearth. Has anyone undertaken a similar project?

Many thanks

We used these guys for a job recently, very happy and based in Crystal Palace so you can easily pop in and see them.

I'd second PJ Wright in Crystal Palace (link above). They are specialists and know their stuff.

In terms of restoring the cast iron, without being able to see the detail you could probably do that yourself more cheaply. I stripped 100 years of paint of my cast iron fire place and reblacked it with graphite paste for a fraction of the cost I was being quoted by the restorers.

PJ Wright never bothered getting back to me when I was trying to get a quote. I used Paul at Rps fireplaces for the stuff I couldn't do myself - 07939236261 [email protected]
