The Craft Behind a Restored Fireplace
No hidden fees, just the stages, the methods and the prices in writing.
Restoring the lintel over the opening
The steel angle over the opening carries the brick above it, and code section R1001.7 calls for at least 4 inches of bearing at each end. Rust swells the steel, and the growth can crack joints, push brick forward or let the angle sag.
Brick industry guidance (BIA Technical Note 19) recommends room at the ends of a steel lintel for heat expansion. Our specialists clean and coat a lintel with surface rust, and replace one that has lost section, resetting the brick above it.
Older homes and special requirements
Age alone does not make a fireplace historic, and it does not decide how the work should be done. If your home carries a local designation, or you have records of original materials, share them before the plan is drawn up.
Documents like these can affect what may be replaced and which materials are used. Where a conservation adviser is involved, our pros agree the sequence with them before any original material is changed.
Restoration in stages
Some restoration tasks depend on each other. The flue is cleaned before the smoke chamber is parged, the firebox is relined before the face is cleaned, and the damper works before the first fire.
Our pros mark which stages must come first and which can wait, and they tell you whether the fireplace should stay out of use in between. Each stage carries its own upfront price.
Cleaning the flue before the firebox work
Work in the firebox and smoke chamber goes better when the flue above has been cleaned. Loose soot and debris would otherwise fall onto fresh mortar, and a blocked or damaged flue could change what the fireplace below needs.
Our pros schedule the chimney sweep as an early stage of the restoration, with its own price, and use that visit to check the flue for anything that changes the plan.
