builder needed to install fireplace
I am looking for a recommendation for a builder to check the chimney, rebrick part of the chimney breast if needed and install a stone fireplace (which we have ready to go in.
None of the builders I have spoken to know anything about real fires or fireplaces. I need someone who is not just "having a go", who is experienced especially since if it is done wrong we could all die from carbon monoxide poisoning!
Also reasonably priced, reliable and does a tidy clean job.
Thanks!

We used County Fires at Hertford and were well impressed. They put right what the previous installed got all wrong,
and tidied up beautifully.

This is something that has caught us out in the past. To install fireplaces, the workman needs to be Hetas Registered (Similar to Gas Safe/Corgi if installing gas appliances.) You can find a registered trades person at http://www.hetas.co.uk/.
We shopped around and found Ignite installations were very competitive and helpful when correcting an illegal job that 'by the fireside' in Nazeing had bodged together.

Hope this helps
