Who is Ward Antiques Fireplaces?
Ward Antique Fireplaces was established in 1977 with our first showroom situated on Woolwich Road in London. We began by selling both antiques and reclaimed fireplaces before realising our passion lay in fireplace restorations. After that, we began to concentrate solely on restoring reclaimed, original, and antique fireplaces and tiles.
Since then, the fireplace trade has grown considerably, and so too have our skills and experience. With our many years of experience, we are now specialists in fireplace restorations in Essex. We are still based in south-east London and are still passionate about exceeding expectations with our customers. The joy we experience when we bring an original fireplace back to life is unparalleled for us.
As you can tell, fireplace restorations bring us great joy. As a result, we now have a large stock of original fireplaces awaiting restoration. So, if you are looking for a unique and original fireplace, please get in touch as we may have what you need! If you’d like more information about fireplace restorations in Essex, please don’t hesitate to contact our experienced team.

Fireplace restorations in Essex and our services
We offer an extensive list of fireplace restoration services in order to return fireplaces to their authentic charm. All of our antique fireplaces undergo a rigorous restoration process and are restored to a very high standard. All work is undertaken in either your home or our extensive restoration workshops by our dedicated experienced restorers.
We use sandblasting for the first stage of fireplace restorations in Essex. We find this the most effective way to remove old paint, dirt, and surface rust from fireplaces.
After sandblasting, we apply a high-temperature matt black paint. This is a must for any working cast iron fireplace.
Next, our team of restoration experts will begin the polishing process. We can finish your fireplaces in an array of polished styles.
Originally lead paint was used to provide the distinctive black that we associate with Victorian fireplaces. Today we use a safe alternative to the same visual effect.
For decorative fireplaces, a range of painted finishes are available. Please contact us to discuss.
We often apply powder coating as it offers a beautifully smooth finish. Plus, it is available in a wide range of colours.
We can offer standard replacement parts for fireplaces. Plus, our dedicated team can provide our own casting patterns of original parts.
Our highly experienced in-house stone mason can provide Marble and Slate restoration.
