Welcome to the Grate Finds Fireplace Advice Centre
|
Buying a fireplace often raises questions. Will it fit? Is it original? How should it be stored before installation? What's the best way to look after it?
We've created this Advice Centre to answer the questions we're asked most often by our customers. Everything in this Advice Centre is based on our own experience. We've been buying, restoring, selling and personally delivering cast iron fireplaces since 2012. Rather than generic advice, we've shared the practical knowledge we've built up over the years, along with the tips, observations and real-life experiences that come from working with hundreds, if not thousands, of fireplaces. Whether you're just starting your search or your fireplace is already waiting to be installed, we hope you'll find the information helpful. We’re only just beginning this series of Advice Centre articles, and more guides will be added over the coming weeks. Check back regularly as we continue to share more of the practical advice and experience we’ve built up since 2012. |
