Hi, has anyone done this? If so, what sort of issues and costs are we looking at? We have an Edwardian house that some muppet put a strange sort of 1940's fireplace in and we'd like to replace it with a more original style. The set up we have looks as though it did work as a fire at some point so I think the space is there. If anyone knows of a firm that does it all the better!

Thanks

we took our 1950's fire place out of our dining room and discovered the original space for the kitchen range behind it. Our builder inserted a new lintel to support the opening at this greater height and we got the sweeps in to check the chimney. We had a woodburner inserted in the space- the installer had to clear a bit of rubble that was stuck inside the chimney breast and remove one of those hat things off the top of the chimney on the outside which had been fitted for a gas fire.

So maybe first port of call is a sweep like Pearse and sons.


the 1940's fireplace might have been put in in the 1940's! People have always wanted the latest gadgets and styles, even then! I think our 1950's one had been the third to be installed in that particular place.


Matt at Casa in Bellenden Road is a fireplace expert and installer too.

Yes, we did this with our victorian semi on upland road. We unblocked the original and put a lovely edwardian metal one in. It cost about ?1500 all in but was worth it. We used Bob who was at the junction emporium just off LL. I think he's gone now though. Casa on bellenden road does all this stuff too.

I used Bob a few years back and would like to get in touch with some more work for him.


The number on here doesn't work anymore, as the previous poster mentions he moved a while back. http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/junction-emporium-london


But does anyone have his current number?


Cheers.

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.

    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
