“Appalling customer support. I recently took delivery of my Durrington white (almost grey) fireplace . This arrived on time and undamaged and that’s the end of the good stuff. From then on it went downhill !! I am 43yrs an electro/mechanical engineer, so no problem connecting the downlights. When I switched on , one of the drivers exploded, with parts narrowly missing my face. I immediately contacted Kerys in customer support, she was polite and helpful, asking for photos to support my complaint, which I did. She emailed advising the replacement lights would take 3months to arrive ( no great concerns or mention about safety of the lights). I replied this was unacceptable as I could not complete the fireplace installation without the lights , also meaning I would not be able to complete my decorating. The next email I received was not from Kerys , but from Mike . It was a short and rather curt response , stating they had addressed the issue . Again no mention about my safety concerns. I sent a further email to Mike , this was to reiterate that a 3month wait was unacceptable and that I had ordered a new lighting kit online at my expense (good quality lighting kit fitted and no exploding parts) . Fireplace installation now completed and getting on with redecorating 😊. Yes you’ve guessed, no acknowledgment or response to my last email. So if I could resolve the issue ( my time and added expense) , why couldn’t they be bothered?? Goodwill non existent!! Also my deep concerns about the product safety have not been taken at all seriously. This has been the worst customer support ever . I hope they read the reviews and sort out the poor service, although somehow I doubt it. Also hoping my review will benefit prospective customers. Note; photos show blown driver , new replacement lighting kit (plinth lights with full safety protection built in and next day delivery from great company) and of course the completed installation.”

“I did not make a purchase. A member of your Sales Team incorrectly inserted my details rather than that of the actual Buyer. I was told this person should have contacted me to apologise after I pointed out the error. No telephone call was received. Poor customer service.”

“Purchased - Carron Albert Cast Iron Fireplace and Granite 60 inch hearth - Fireplace surround absolutely stunning. Granite hearth lovely too. Cannot fault them both. Will finish off our Victorian renovation project to perfection. Delivery great, delivery drive at AM Transport brilliant. Got both very heavy items down our long driveway to door. Really happy with everything!”

“We ordered the Howard Oak Fireplace package. Unfortunately we had to wait almost 2 months for our fireplace to arrive due to issues with delivery. When it arrived no fixings were delivered with the fireplace and no assembly instructions were provided. This is not clear from the website. A professional handyman struggled to assemble the fireplace and when a tile broke, we had to pay £150 for a new set. Customer service in response to these issues was poor and I would not buy from Direct Fireplaces again.”

“Purchase - Carron Albert Polished Cast Iron Surround. Stunning, beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. This fireplace is beautiful. Cannot believe how lovely it is. It is going to look fabulous in our 1852 Victorian house renovation. The delivery driver was fantastic (AM Transport, Scotland), the driver brought the pallet to our door down a steep driveway and delivered in less than a week. The staff were helpful and sorted out anything I wanted to know. Would recommend this company!”

“This company offers excellent customer care - we couldn't have asked for a better service. The staff who dealt with our initial enquiries and our order were friendly and extremely efficient and the after-sales service provided by Anthony when we encountered a slight problem with one of the products was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this company to others and use them again.”

“The order process was great and they let you pick a delivery date which b&q didn't so glad I went with them. Only snag was they don't bring the item into your house but leave it outside on a pallet and it's delivered in pieces not assebled. Luckily I have a partner and between us we were able to carry the pieces in and he's pretty handy so will be able to put together. Other than that v pleased with it! Hope its going to look nice when installed.”
