Balanced Flue Cast Iron Gas Fireplaces

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:27:26 +0000

You desire a cast iron fireplace but have no chimney or flue system and want to mount the fireplace on an external wall here at Castfireplaces we have an option that may just work out for you.
With the introduction of the H/E gas fires last year from the Gallery range they also have designed a new H/E gas fire that works on a balanced flue.
Im afraid its not the cheapest of options but this unit is ideal for customers requiring a traditional looking arched fireplace but are without a traditional chimney.
They still work out far cheaper than having a fan system which were very expensive and also pretty noisy.
So Gallery fireplaces have introduced new models to help sort this problem out
Castfireplaces can now offer the following fireplaces to be used in any of our 3″ rebated mantels
Jubilee H/E Arch
Lytton H/E Arch
Toulouse H/E Tiled
Pembroke H/E Combination
All of these fireplaces can be used with the balanced flue system so they do not require a chimney breast and can be vented to an external wall.
These fireplaces are Only avaialble from our Showroom and are not items that are to be sold online so please contact us to arrange viewing and Castfireplaces can discuus the relevant options with you.

Lytton and Corbel Limestone Fireplace to Manchester

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:00:34 +0000

Hi Mark,

Yes the fireplaces arrived as expected and have since been fitted.

My feedback….

I don’t usually write website reviews, however the outstanding service provide by Cast fire places has prompted to me to do so.

Before I ordered the fireplace I had various questions, these we all answered very promptly by Mark.

I had looked around all local fireplace shops in Manchester, and many web sites you will not find a better price for the products. Some local outlets were close to double the price for the Lytton and Corbel Limestone package.

The order process was very straightforward. The web site was also very easy to use and allowed exact selection of the package we wanted.

The delivery arrived as promised a few days after ordering. The driver called ahead on the day of delivery to confirm the time to within a few minutes or the actual arrival time. Everything was delivered carefully and checked on the delivery note.

We have since has the the fireplaces fitted. The quality is first class and they look very good.

Thanks again Mark and keep up the good work.

Stove fitting in Ripley on the same road

admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:16:39 +0000

Where we live in Ripley Derbyshire and park a couple of our sign written vans all our neighbours and those living by us know what we do.
I have sold stoves to many of our neighbours and now one of our customers who lives over the road from us has put her mother in touch also for a Firefox 12 Stove
Now these stoves are one big and heavy heat machine enough to heat the largest of rooms so i delivered it Friday to them and Matt our local fitter was knocking on our door this morning early doors for a cup of tea before fitting it for them.
They had ordered a chimney lining kit, debris plate, flue and the stove for a complete fitting into an existing chimney breast and i saw Mr Key just pointing up a newly fitted airbrick when we delivered on Friday.
So thats eight supply on fits on the same road as us and all from word of mouth or seeing our well sign written vans i love a nice local delivery its far easier than driving to say Bournemouth to deliver the same item.
So as i have said before await our new winter time advertising programme im sure all our local customers will be impressed with waht Castfireplaces can offer them.

Lytton and Pine Bedford Fireplace to Edinburgh

I will do. It arrived no problem. My dad was at my house when it arrived and said the guy who delivered it was brilliant . It looks great but as yet isn’t fitted as my central heating is being replaced but once I have the full effect I’ll be sure to leave feedback

Be careful when tightening screws onto Cast Iron Fireplaces

admin — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:14:36 +0000

I have had a phonecall today from a customer who was fitting his own cast iron fireplace and the wall he was fitting it too was not level
This is quite a normal problem with chimney breast walls not being perfectly flat and when you come to fix a cast iron combination fireplace to the wall be very careful when you tighten the screws holding it into place.
Now as some of you may be aware cast iron has no movement in it its not like steel that will bend its immensely strong when cast but it is very brittle and will simply crack if dropped etc.
Well this customer was fixing the fireplace to the wall and was tightening the screws to hold it back but the cast was not sitting flat against the wall and the lugs were sitting slightly proud of the wall.
Instead of chiseling away the plaster work to make it sit perfectly flat he has decided to pull it into place with a cordless screwdriver.
Not a good idea im afraid as he has found out as the lug simply snapped off the side of the fireplace he rang us to see if it can be glued back in place but im afriad it needs to be stick welded using cast iron rods to repair this.
So be careful when fitting this type of fireplace its not as easy as it looks and care must be taken to avoid damage to the cast iron.

Castfireplaces Use Worldpay for online payments

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 18:49:47 +0000

So you are looking to make an order for a fireplace online and as a regular shopper online you would be amazed at the payment options available to people.
I have seen the best and the worst of online payment gateways and some are not even secure and process card detials manually after taking your details.
Now this really is not safe and i log out every time i come across unsafe payment pages.
So on our website where we sell fireplaces and stoves castfireplaces has chosen as our payment gateway Worldpay which are one of the best payment providers and are recognised all over the world.
We dont do things by any short measures and have the most stringent sales policy to reduce card fraud and am pleased to say this works really well for us.
So when ordering a fireplace from us or any other website check the page has the padlock locked symbol and any payment pages and ensure you are shopping with a recognised brand of payment gateway and are secure.
These are yet more reasons why you can trust Castfireplaces for your online purchases our payments are secure and no details are ever kept by us we take your securtiy very seriously.

Crown and Asquith Limestone to Lichfield

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 10:32:57 +0000

Mark,

The price and service received was excellent. We selected an installation team recommended by Cast Fire Places and they did an excellent job. The only down side was a few flaws in the limestone mantle but we knew that a natural product such as this would include this. All credit to the install team as they made good the most significant flaw and it is hardly noticeable now.

Many thanks

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 19:39:12 +0000

Good evening and what a lovely day ive had today here at Castfireplaces this morning as usual i was at the showroom and factory at Langley Mill between 10 and 12 meeting customers.
Time flew by this morning meeting people and i did not have time to finish a cup of tea i was suprised as to how many people turned up today to look at our fireplaces and stoves.
I was back home for 12.45 via the shops then was straight out With Rhian and my son Jaiden to his football presentation afternoon and im proud to say the boys looked great in the castfireplaces sponsored football shirts, i can beleive they have been playing for a year ive some exciting news to tell you about Castfireplaces and football but ill let you know when its all been confirmed.
So back in the office sat on my patio in the gorgeous sun working away on my work laptop if felt like i was bunking an afternoon off from my fireplace world.
I was even sat there with a cold beer working away what could be any better now the sun has gone in it was alittle cold so im sat writing this at my office desk just before i finish for the day if only every day could be as perfect as this.

Good evening and im back in the office late today for a Friday its because we had an early afternoon to go to a 40th BBQ, its not just a 40th but its Stuarts 40th one of the fireplace delivery guys that works for us.
He is family and is Rhians Sisters partner and he has worked for us now for around 4 years he is our part time driver now though im afriad as he is at a full time university course studying programming all far too technical for me.
Stuart only works Sundays now or the odd weekday whilst on holiday from Uni, he really is one of the friendliest people you could ever wish to meet and i can honestly say its a real pleasure having him work for us.
So today he has turned 40 and we have been to there house to celebrate with him and ive now got quite abit of work to catch up with before bedtime.
The rest i will catch up with early in the morning before i head of to the workshop for Saturday open viewings at our showroom which is our normal saturday job.
