What goes into restoring a fireplace in Plymouth
Three parts of the job our fireplace pros explain to homeowners in Plymouth before work starts.
A worn firebox floor
The floor of the firebox carries the grate, the wood and the ashes, along with years of scraping. Brick there can crack, crumble at the surface or settle unevenly, and a loose floor brick lets heat and embers into the joints below it.
Once the firebox is clean, we check the floor brick by brick. Worn sections are replaced with suitable firebrick and laid to meet the side walls tightly. It is a small part of a restoration in Plymouth, and one you will see every time a fire is lit.
Replacing a cracked face brick
A face brick that is cracked through, flaking at the surface or burned at the edge of the opening can be cut out and replaced. The old mortar around it is removed without harming the bricks beside it.
Finding a match is the hard part. We look for a brick close in size, color and texture and show you the closest option before cutting anything out. If no acceptable match exists in Plymouth or beyond, you decide whether to replace the unit anyway or leave it in place.
Children, pets and a working fireplace
Brick and stone around a fireplace stay hot long after the fire is out. Loose hearth tiles and sharp broken edges are also hazards for small children and pets.
When a family with young children asks us to restore a fireplace, we point out the edges, gaps and loose pieces that need attention first. A mesh screen in front of the fire and a clear hearth go a long way.
Cast iron firebacks and fireplace hardware
Some fireplaces have a cast iron fireback standing against the rear wall, along with andirons, a grate and an ash dump door. Cast iron cracks when it is heated unevenly or struck hard.
We check these pieces for cracks and rust and tell you which can be cleaned and kept. Anything loose or breaking apart comes out before the first fire, and a cracked fireback gets a clear recommendation on whether it should stay in use.
