Floating oak mantle piece

Chesney’s Wood Burner With Oak Mantle, Farnham, Surrey

Chesney’s Salisbury 4 wood burner with floating oak mantle piece. This Victorian townhouse in Farnham had a cast iron fireplace and wooden surround. This was probably fitted the last ten years and wasn’t to the customer’s taste.

The chimney required sweeping and lining and some minor repairs. We also capped the other four disused chimney pots to keep the nesting birds and water ingress at bay. This was a particularly inaccessible chimney which needed scaffolding to do the required work.

After removing the surround and cast fireback we lime rendered the inside of the fireplace and plastered the front and sides of the chimney breast. It is at this point that we measure up for the hearth and get it cut by our stone mason. The customer requested a floating oak mantlepiece with a square planed finish to match the other woodwork in the room.

Once made we laid the hearth and fitted the mantle piece. The final stage is to install and test the wood burner. This has given the customer the much cleaner look that they wanted whilst giving them an efficient and clean way to heat their living room.

Sage green Chesney's log burner with oak mantlepiece

Chesney’s Salisbury 4 Log Burner in Sage Green, Alton, Hampshire

This beautiful log burner is by Chesney’s – they offer a range of alternative colours including Atlantic blue & sage green. The subtlety of the colour is what makes it so appealing to the eye. This installation involved opening the fireplace up to the original width, heatproof render on the inside and plaster on the chimney breast front. The mantle piece is especially deep with a rustic look and a natural danish oil finish. The hearth is a textured grey granite & the stove is a Chesney’s Salisbury 4 in sage green finish. Combined with the final decoration of the room this installation looks amazing.

Log Burner with brick slip lined fireplace, Farnham, Surrey

This fireplace had been used as an open, but with very poor heat output. The customer didn’t like the fireplace surround, which was installed when the house was build and was quite dated.  We advised on fitting a Chesney’s Salisbury 4 log burner with a new hearth to cover the footprint of the old hearth. We agreed on lining the fireplace with a rustic brick slip to introduce as nice feature to the very modern room.  After fitting the brick slips & plastering the chimney breast we fitted the hearth. The customer chose a river wash granite hearth, floating oak mantle piece in a slightly rustic style with danish oak finish. The finishing touch was the log burner – probably our favourite stove, the Salisbury 4 by Chesney. Another happy customer & installed just in time for Christmas.

Brickwork Fireplace with Salisbury 4 Wood Burner, Bordon, Hampshire

The challenge here was to make a very small fireplace opening look a little more in proportion with the room it was in. We kept the inside of the fireplace as the original bare brickwork to keep the opening as wide as possible. The choice of bricks were a rural cottage blend – not too dissimilar from the interior of the fireplace but a much more aesthetically appealing brick & with the rustic look the customer wanted. The mantlepiece was made from a piece of beech which we danish oiled & the hearth was a lovely riven slate. The wood burner is a Chesney’s Salisbury 4 in black finish. A very nice job with another happy customer.

This is a false chimney breast built in the extension to the original house. We installed a Twinwall system from Poujoulat up through the house exiting through the roof.
