Wood Burning Fire Installation
There is nothing quite like the look and sound of a burning fire. Not only does a fireplace keep you warm when it’s cold outside, but it also adds ambience, along with adding value to your house.
Our service includes a full process of fireplace installation starting from consultation and site measures.
Whether you’re looking to install a new fire or replace an existing fireplace a building consent is required. We can arrange the permit, as well as the installation of your chosen fire and any building and plastering work along with tiling hearth and walls to complete the install.
We specialise in fascia and hearth construction and provide a variety of finishes from poured concrete to mosaic tiling if you would like a more individual look.
Initially we can provide you with an estimate of costs involved to give you an idea. If you are happy to proceed then we arrange a site visit.
There are two types of fireplaces:
freestanding and insert/inbuilt.
Freestanding Fireplaces
Freestanding fireplaces stand away from the wall with a visible flue pipe and can be positioned anywhere there is enough free space in a room. There is a large variety of sizes and styles of freestanding fireplaces, so there will always be the perfect fire to meet your requirements.
Insert-Inbuilt Fireplaces
Insert and Inbuilt fireplaces are inserted into a cavity, either an existing masonry fireplace or into a new build cavity using a zero clearance box with the flue pipe enclosed into the building structure. Their sleek look and design provides a modern feel to any room and also has the added benefit of a smaller floor footprint.
Popular brands of freestanding, insert and inbuilt fireplaces we have installed:
Bosca | Ethos | Firenzo | Jayline | Jetmaster | Kent | Masport | Metro | Pyroclassic | Stuv | Tropicair | Scandia | Wagener | Warmington | Woodsman | Yunca
Rebricking Open Fireplaces
A well-constructed masonry fireplace adds several elements of interest to the home.
Old Brick masonry residential fireplaces can be made more energy efficient by various means including rebricking using high performing Refractory bricks – also known as ‘thermal bricks’ or ‘firebricks’. Fabricated gathers and a flue system can also be installed to maximise the heat output.
Open fires are permitted in the Wellington region and a permit is not required for this type of work.
