When you talk to different people about fireplace fitting wehther its getting advice from a company like Castfirepaces or speaking directly to your chosen fireplace fitter we all do things slightly differently.
We always say to our customers to chop the granite hearths below the level of the plasterwork to ensure you get a better finish there is nothing worse than seeing the ege of the hearth on display if no skirting is fitted.
Fireplace fitters all have different methods to fitting and ways that they fit fireplaces whether it be using pushunders or removing the rebate strip on mantels to move the fireplace forward each one has there own ideas.
The fitters we use know our products very well and we have never had any problems with them installing our fireplaces, questions and problems always come from a DIY Dan fitting it himself or builders and plumbers with no knowledge of fitting fireplaces.
If you have a profesional fitter install your fireplace you would expect them to fit it correctly but we are always on hand to help if there is anything they are unsure of.
So if you take advice from us or your fireplace fitter we may not say the same things but as long as once its fitted it looks how it should and has been installed correctly you have a fireplace that you know has been fitted correctly
