Converting original antique fireplaces to accept a small wood burning stove is a speciality of ours. Most fireplaces of this style can only fit the smallest of stoves. Luckily for us Salamander Stoves have created the Hobbit SE stove. Originally designed for narrow boats and shepherds huts, the hobbit is a perfect fit even for thew smallest of fireplaces. This small wood burning stove still has an output of 4KW which is ample for the typical room size we find associated with this style of fireplace.

Contact Firebug now if you have an antique fireplace that you would like to convert to a wood burning stove.

Tiled Fireplace Renovation with Log Burner, Guildford, Surrey

Posted on by

FireBug were commissioned to carry out a tiled fireplace renovation & Log Burner installation in Guildford, Surrey. The original fireplace had a cast iron fireback and the hearth was in a very bad state of repair. First we removed the cast iron fireplace and backfill. To line the sides of the fireplace we built new brickwork to match the original brick work at the back of the fireplace. The hearth was taken back to the sub hearth level & new matching tiles were laid. The tiles are a hand glazed fireplace tile, made in the traditional way so they matched perfectly.

With a fireplace opening of this size the goto log burner is the Hobbit SE by Salamander stoves. FireBug can supply and fit Hobbit stoves and all the Salamander accessories. Although the Hobbit looks small, it still has an output of 4 Kw which is by no means to small for a room of this size.

Renovating this fireplace has give the customer a working and efficient appliance without having to take away one of the original features of the house.

Wood Burning Stove & Victorian Cast Iron Fireplace Surround in Farnham, Surrey

This installation involved removing an old fireplace surround. We then lined the chimney & fitted a new riven slate hearth. The victorian fireplace surround was then mechanically fixed to the wall before plastering the chimney breast and lime rendering the interior. The finishing touch is one of our favourite stoves – the Chesney’s Salisbury 5 Wood Burning Stove. To see what is possible at your property get in touch with FireBug for a free estimate.
