ABOUT OUR FIREPLACES AND HEARTHS
By selecting stone fireplaces from the menu button above you will see our range of English solid natural Bath stone fireplaces and hearths all of which can be carved to your specific size or click on the linked photo - if the listed sizes does not suit your requirements, simply email Lynn your preferred sizes to simplicityfireplaces@gmail.com for a competitive quotation or call Chris direct on 07976 240893 to discuss your requirements further.
Every surround is suitable for gas or electric fires, roaring open fires or the most popular today being for multi fuel and wood stoves.
We do not offer any reconstituted stone or any imported hollow stone this is solid English natural Bath stone and not imitation stone.
All our fireplaces are unique as the stone is locally sourced and as a natural material will contain some shells, fossilising from the sea bed minerals and creatures and calcite veining dating back to some 145 million plus years ago, thus being the beauty of a natural material.
We can also just supply the fire surround without hearths if not required for a reduced costing.
