Why a real fire?

The homes hearth has traditionally always been the centrepiece and focal point of every home where friends gather, families celebrate and romantic evenings are enjoyed.

Recent research suggests a house with an open fireplace sells for up to 15 percent more than an identical house without one.

Solid fuel burning is becoming ever more popular due to soaring costs of other fuels, especially Gas and Electricity.

If you create and maintain an efficient set-up for your fire and use the correct fuels, you can happily heat your home in a carbon neutral environment.

Old chimneys can usually be opened up and reinstated for relatively low cost and time.
