Keeping warm - from "rads to riches"...
For that warmth and character that only comes from a real fire...
Another easy way to add value to your home as well as instant focal features is to incorporate old cast iron radiators and fireplaces. We can supply anything from petite cast iron combination grates, perfect for bedrooms, to massive unusually coloured french woodburners. They provide practicality along with decorative design even in today's modern world of central heating.
These architectural gems must not be overlooked and if no longer needed for their heat, fireplaces will always be required for their aesthetic beauty. After all, nothing beats coming in from the cold to the warm glow of an open fire. Once this would have been the only form of heating for most properties, however with the affordability and availability of modern central heating systems, many of these original pieces were destroyed by overzealous DIYers keen to remove all period features in favour of a more modern look.
