“We havn't had fire installed yet as when my gas man arranged a date a week after delivery we had to cancell install date as my wife can have 20 to 30 dizzy spells a day and she had a physio appointment come through for that date so we have to wait for him to come back to us with new install date so will get back to you when installed as per phone call I made to you and I was told to check to see that there was nothing broken or scratched or any missing parts but as I'm not a gas engineer I said I wouldn't know if anything was missing and the gentleman I spoke to said that wasn't a problem as if anything was missing he would be able to send the missing parts straight away so hopefully my gas fitter will get back to me this week thanks Mr t smith”

“I like the product but I think the instructions for assembly should be looked at. Illustrations would have helped. I had not been able to actually see the product ‘in the flesh’ and nearly threw away the orange dome!”

“We had to wait nearly one year to have our new gas fire and fireplace fitted but it was worth the wait as we are extremely pleased with the fire and fireplace, the excellent service from Direct Fireplaces and the perfect fitting of both by K&H Fireplace Installers based in Hamilton.”

“The fire place is great, no instructions to fit or details of the fire place out put for the HETAS certification so it had to be searched by the guy who installed for me. Cost was reasonable and delivery was straight forward. The only down side was that I had to have it delivered to my mothers as I was away working and the delivery guy was really in-helpful lifted the pallet of with a heavy cast iron fire place on it and would only drop off at the top of the drive he wouldn’t wheel it 5m into a secure garage which left my 75 year old mother worried about it being stolen until I got back…. I think this is terrible service and the guy was just rude… shame really a little bit of customer service goes a long way… the delivery process does need a review the fire places should be made secure unwrapped and checked for damage prior to them leaving, as I’m sure the customer will get the blame for the damage not good….. you need to look at this”

Hi Jason, Thank you taking the time to leave a review. It's great that you're been as impressed as you are by the fireplace received. I am however sorry to hear of the issues experienced in terms of delivery. Unfortunately, drivers are generally only be able to leave the item at the first available point of access to the property, as per their contracts with our delivery partners. The strict delivery routes to which drivers work also mean that they are limited insofar as how long they can stay at each property. This said, we do of course take any constructive criticism seriously and would again apologise on our supplier's and our courier's behalf for any inconvenience. In the event that you do need any other advice or assistance, we would recommend contacting 0161 516 2955 option 2 or emailing dispatch@direct-fireplaces.com. Thanks again for your feedback. Kind regards, Jack Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“I appreciate they are busy but every communication via telephone, when I could actually speak to someone even the MD left me feeling unhappy with the service. After speaking to sales and finding a product that suited and was in stock I paid more and then got an email advising that delivery would be 2 weeks away. Requested a refund and finally had to contact PayPal to resolve. Sort out your customer service and listen to customers genuinely.”

“I can highly recommend Direct Fireplaces. Placed the order and the fire was delivered in a week. We were kept informed the whole time via emails. All our queries were dealt with by their customers services quickly and politely. Great company to deal with. I don't usually write reviews but felt I had to this time.”

“On your website the Celsi Rapture was (and still is as I have just checked) rated as .9Kw/1.8Kw. The fire you have supplied says .75Kw/1.5Kw. Pretty disappointing as I was looking for about 2Kw but when I read spec thought OK 1.8 should be alright. I rang up to complain but only got your messaging service. The lady answering obviously could not help but promised it would be passed on and I would receive a reply. A long time ago now and I have heard nothing. So much for customer service. The fire itself is quite nice but the remote is a nightmare. Am using the buttons on the side which is much simpler. All in all a bad experience. Decided to keep it. God knows what I would have to go through to get a refund!!”

“A part of the fireplace surround that arrived last Thursday is broken in half. Contacted Direct Fireplaces immediately but despite this and several phone calls as yet have not been given a clue as what they intend to do about it. Meanwhile £2k of fireplace & surround is laying on my living room floor with everyone stepping over it”

“Easy to install and very efficient in heating room. Feet are a bit unsightly so haven’t fitted them. Fire is reasonably stable when free standing on hearth but have fixed it to the wall along the top edge of the surround with Velcro to give it additional stability and security.”

“I was unbelievably impressed with the standard of service I received from staff at Direct Fireplaces. My queries were dealt with efficiently and helpfully and my purchase was effected painlessly. What should be noted is that when I called the next day to cancel my order as I’d made some grave errors in my choice if product, this was carried out with no fuss or problem. I then ordered a more suitable (and cheaper) product and a refund if the difference was made within a very short and acceptable time frame. The product arrived within a matter of days. In my opinion this is a good company to deal with. Thank you.”
