Period Fireplaces in Essex and our Restoration Services
We offer an extensive list of restoration services to return period fireplaces to their former glory. All of our period fireplaces undergo a rigorous restoration process and are restored to a very high standard.
We use sandblasting for the first stage of restoring period fireplaces in Essex. Over the years, we have found this the most effective way to remove old paint, dirt, and surface rust.
After sandblasting the period fireplace, we apply a high-temperature matt black paint. This is a must for any working cast iron period fireplace.
Next, our restoration team will begin the polishing process. We can finish period fireplaces in an array of polished styles.
Originally lead paint was used to provide the distinctive black that we associate with Victorian period fireplaces. Today we use a safe alternative to the same visual effect.
For decorative period fireplaces, a range of painted finishes are available. Please contact us to discuss in more detail.
