Hetas & Corgi Registered Installation Service
Experience has shown that a first rate installer is our best salesman for future business.
For all our installation work, we employ the services of a local, well respected, specialist fireplace fitting company,
with vast experience, registered with Corgi and Hetas.
By paying a little more to get the best, the job gets done properly, first time and with the minimum of disruption.
Preparation for Installation
The customer has
removed the carpet and all furniture. The television
could not be moved so it was sheeted up to protect it.
The curtains have been protected with plastic.
This is a relatively new
house and created less mess than an old Victorian house
which has had generations of coal fires.
Having had the
chimney swept thoroughly minimized the risk of soot-falls
during the knock-out.
This is a typical
knockout. the fitter has removed brickwork exposing the
"Builders Opening" - the typical starting point
for an inglenook type fireplace.
Some of the plasterwork
over the opening was loose and had to be removed - not at
all unusual.
This neat opening
has created the debris shown below:
See how much
rubble is created by knocking out a small inglenook. Many
houses have much larger builders openings and
consequently much more rubble to dispose of.
Customers sometimes query
the reason why we ask for a skip to be arranged for the
first day of the installation - here's why!
Long after
the price is forgotten, a quality job continues to give pleasure.
