Dorchester fireplaces
Dorchester splits neatly into two jobs. There's the older centre — the Victorian and Edwardian houses around High West Street, Cornwall Road and Prince of Wales Road, most with usable original chimneys — and then there's Poundbury and the newer estates at Fordington and Castle Park, where a lot of homes were built with no chimney at all.
Where there's an existing flue, it's a survey, sweep and liner. Where there isn't, it's a twin wall insulated system, run either internally through the floors and out at the ridge or up an outside wall. Poundbury's design code makes the external route worth thinking through carefully — terminal position and finish both matter there in a way they don't elsewhere.
What we do
Supply, installation and the building work that goes with it. One trade on site, from knocking the opening out to lighting it for the first time.
Stoves supplied to suit the room and the flue — sized properly on output rather than guessed at, and covered by one warranty with the install.
Chimney liners and twin wall systems fitted, insulated and sealed, whether there's an existing chimney to work with or nothing at all.
Every installation signed off and certified, with the notice plate fitted. That's the paperwork your insurer and any future buyer will ask for.
Small or blocked openings widened to take a burner — lintels, beams, brickwork and all the building work that comes with it.
Slate, granite, stone and concrete hearths supplied and laid to the correct size and clearances for the appliance going on them.
Chambers lined in brick slips or fireboard for a clean, square finish that stands up to the heat and looks right in the room.
Anti-downdraught cowls, bird guards and rain caps fitted to the pot and made weathertight.
Most Dorchester jobs are a mix of the above. Send a photo of the fireplace and you'll get a straight answer on what's involved.
