Fireplace Restoration

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that if you need any work doing to your fireplace, try Blue Mantle based in Old Kent Road. (0207 703 7437 or http://www.bluemantle.co.uk/


I needed to have a new hearth laid for my working fireplace, and a tidy up of the tiles. They were the third company I tried and I wish I had gone to them first and saved myself time and trouble. I had assumed that as they are an established restoration company who also sell beautiful new and refurbished fireplaces they would probably not be interested in such a small job, but they were polite, punctual and professional from the start and charged me a fair price for the work. I am delighted with the result!


There are recommendations elsewhere on this forum for a company based in Crystal Palace, who I feel are only interested in the big jobs, as having been given a quote by them I then wasted many weeks leaving messages, and waiting for call backs which never happened. I wish companies would just be honest and say they don't want the job instead of stringing us along.

    • Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
    • Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.
    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.
