The Fireplace Warehouse Reviews

"Courteous staff and quality fire and fireplace.. very happy."

AMAZING! The fireplace we had installed last week is just simply beautiful. For many years we thought of having a gas wood burner with a new fireplace installed however we could not face the decision making and the anticipated mess! However, we were so wrong. The Fireplace Warehouse had been recommended to us by the owner of building and plumbing company I use regularly in my job; he had had an excellent experience with them and he is actually in the trade so we were happy to check out his recommendation. I think it speaks volumes when other trades recommend. On arriving at the showroom in Burnley we were guided to the fireplaces and wood burners appropriate for our home's needs and are so grateful to David Haworth who "held our hands", played referee (!) and for informing us of the different alternatives but also advising us of the most practical solutions. Once the survey was carried out some ten days after visiting the showroom, David went through everything again with us. He was so patient with me he deserved a medal! David explained the whole process and what it would involve. We were given the option to arrange some of the preparation work ourselves if we so wished - as I have excellent contacts in the trade through my job we opted to arrange to have the chimney swept, we had the scaffolding erected to allow for the flue liner to be inserted, we had a trench dug around our property from the gas box to the lounge (as we have tiled floors through out we could not go under the floor) and arranged the skip. David would have arranged these preparation works if we needed him to and for some that could be a very good option. We were advised by David the process would take two days for the installation and we should pay the installer direct. Installation Day arrived - I cannot thank Steve Dewhurst and his assistant, Micky enough. They were brilliant. Turned up at the appointed time, laid out coverings on my floors to protect them, such clean, efficient workers. They kept the mess to an absolute minimum which lets face it soot and bricks and crap are not the cleanest of materials yet they made it look effortless. They worked so hard - two long days but got it done. They managed to lay the gas pipe so it was discreet and well hidden so aesthetically you would not notice it, but within the safety guidelines. I am attaching some photos to show the height they had to climb up the scaffolding just to drop the flue liner down and did it with no complaints. They were truly amazing and I now have the fireplace of my dreams with the most beautiful wood burner, mood lighting behind and gorgeous grey tiles in the background - please see the photos taken day and night! Just got to sort the rest of the room out now - more decisions! THANK YOU DAVID, STEVE AND MICKY - SIMPLY THE BEST. Maria & Paul, Parbold
