Daisy Fireplace Cast iron Combination is Featured Item

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Well back to work properly today and have been to the factory and met a few customers for collection and been in office all day planning routes for delivery and generally sorting things out and i can now say we are back up to Full Speed.
Over Christmas and New Year we did write a few articles but not much in the day to day things we write about as we were closed so there was not much to tell you.
Anyway in all the festive fun i forgot to do the Featured items which we normally do at the start of the month
This months featured cast iron fireplace is The Daisy Combination Fireplace this small bedroom fireplace had been discontinued by Gallery from the fireplace brochure but is still available to us directly on container so we will carry on selling this Bedroom size cast in both the Black and Highlighted Finish.
I has a shelf width of 30″ and is perfect for any small bedroom chimney breast i personally think gallery have dropped a clanger removing this from the range but im sure it will benefit us as many fireplace shops will not be able to supply it.
Also it will be held in price and will not be affected by any current price increase.We also offer it as one of our packages for gas, solid fuel,LPG and electric use so if you do want a working bedroom fireplace thats is great value look no further than the Daisy Fireplace

Why the rush on Gallery Fireplace Gas Stoves whats going on

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

We have had a very unusual event happening to us over the last few week we have sold 5 Gas stoves in the last ten days now we dont normally sell that many in 2 months but strangely enough we have now sold 5 in just over a week.
We have sold 3 Firefox 5 Gas Stoves, 1 Tiger and 1 Firefox 8 all for coal effect natural gas use, as we do not keep any gas stoves in stock we have had to order them in which arrived from our great suppliers straight away.
Now the vast majority of stoves we sell are for multifuel use it seems strange to me with the price of gas why we have sold so many.
Yes they are very clean and make no mess when using and are 73% efficient so they try there best not to spin your gas meter off the wall to create some heat. Surely the idea of having a stove is to fill it with wood coal etc and sit back and watch and listen to the fire heat your home or am i being nostalgic.
I have said before how much i love fire and watching my Tiger plus stove roar way on a cold winters evening it would seem strange just twisting the gas knob and watch it jump into life.
But hey thats just me im not complaining about sales i must just be getting old and not liking change speaking of fires im now going to fill our wood basket and get the stove lit (still having damp logs problem so coal again for the bed)

Coronet and Oak Lincoln Fireplace Package

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

The Coronet is basically a smaller version of the Crown arched insert and it is available in Black and Half Polish only a few years ago we used to offer Full polished but that has been discontinued.
The Coronet has a smaller back which requires an opening of
Width 18″
Height 30.5″ (inc hearth height)
Depth 6.3″
This smaller measurement is ideal for chimney breasts that do have a narrow opening so when space is at a premium it is great to move to a smaller cast.
We do sell this fireplace for solid fuel use but as the opening is smaller it does not have the largest area for burning solid fuel but can still fit on 1 decent size log.
When using for gas or electric use we use the standard cast iron back that comes with this fireplace and fit a ng9 insert to it for gas use and pj9 for electric use.
We only supply the Oak Lincoln mantel in a 48″ shelf width to go with Coronet as the opening is smaller on the 48″ surround and is ideally suited to the size of the Coronet.
The oak lincoln is made from 100% solid american oak and finished in the finest Liberon Finishing oil to give it the lovely colour we achieve we do not wax oak as this is not how it should be seen
It really makes a difference to the finish of the surround to see the natural beauty of the timber as nature intended.
So if you want to buy the Coronet and Oak Lincoln which is this months featured fireplace just click on photo below.

Do i have to have specialist Fireplace Fitter for Electric Use

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

When i returned from London today after delivering all our fireplaces and stoves the 1st call i took when back in the office asked me if they had to have specialist fitter to fit a limestone fireplace for electric use.
Now there are no rules governing the fitting of an electric insert as they all come prewired and have a 13 amp plug on them to plug straight into a socket so with that it mind the answer is No
You can fit this fireplace yourself as you are not likely to be gassed by any toxic fumes form solid fuel or gas use as the electric fire does not need a flue and these are the reasons we never recommend DIY jobs for solid fuel or gas.
So in reality it is ok to fit this type of fireplace fo electirc use but to ensure a good job you must be competent at diy or we would still recommend having it installed by a proper fireplace fitter and be prepared to haggle on the fitting price as they do not have to commision and conduct spillage tests on this item or test the rest of your system and also there is no certificate to produce so it should be cheaper than insattling for gas or solid fuel if fitting electric yourself gives us a ring we can help you out

Derby Black Fireplace Novembers Featured Cast iron

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

So it perils me being a forest supporter to have a fireplace named after a team i dislike but it was not me who named it and within our group inc our suppliers it is known as the Dirty for these reasons only.
Joking apart it happens to be a great cast iron combination fireplace and has a fireplace award from back in the day to its name.
It was dicontinued from the gallery range a few years ago but it is still made and we do keep it in stock because it is a very nice fireplace and also because it sells quite well.
So really it is exclusive to us no other website i know of sells it and we will continue to sell this fireplace.
On the new website categories it will be featuring as a package for both gas and solid fuel so it will give our customers a chance to buy this cast iron with a greater choice of options again all at our fantastic prices.
Anway about the Derby it is available in Black Grate polished finish only which really brings out the decorative features in the casting it does have a good sized back on suitable for solid fuel use and takes quite a large gas insert too.
Have alook at the photograph to view this fireplace in all its splendour and i am sure you will agree it does look good even if it does have a dodgy name

Radley and Bartello Package Novembers Featured Limestone Fireplace

Friday, November 6th, 2009

So the new format for our monthly-featured fireplaces starts today and 1st off we will start with our Limestone section.
This months featured limestone fireplace is the Radley and Bartello Limestone Package
The Radley arched fireplace is available in Black or Highlighted finish and is shown Highlighted in the photo below.
It is one of our more decorative arched fireplaces but I think is still very elegant looking, it has the same cast iron back as the lytton and jubilee so does not offer the largest area for burning solid fuel on but you can still throw on a medium sized log.
We mainly sell the Highlighted version but we do stock the black variety which is better suited to solid fuel.
The bartello Limestone Mantel was new for the 08-09 Gallery brochures and has sold very well. Made from 100% solid agean Limestone it is a slightly off white stone that is sculptured with a fancy ornate shelf and legs.
The Bartello is one fine looking mantel and would grace any chimney breast in A Victorian or modern styled home so have a look at the photograph shown below and click this to go straight to the item for any further information.
Tomorrow we will feature a cast iron fireplace from the fantastic Gallery range we supply.
Right off to celebrate my son Jaidens 5th Birthday mmm its a kids tea party.

I have been sitting on these photos for what seems an age now as we were having problems uploading them to our article section this has now been resolved and I am pleased to say we will see a return to the Customer Fireplace Gallery.

The Limestone surround is a 54” version with the gas insert all sat on a granite hearth.
See below what our customer says about us.

Hi Mark,

Many thanks for an outstanding service! It was a genuine pleasure to do business with you. Great prices, great service, and great products. What more could one wish for?!

You promised me an 8am delivery. Your driver ‘phoned me at about one minute to eight, to apologize because he was stuck in traffic and would not be with me until approximately ten past eight!!!

Now that is service! How many times have we all ordered items on the Internet, only to wait around all day on the day of delivery.

Your driver was brilliant. Polite and cheerful, he carried everything in to the exact spot where I wanted it – no problem.

I would like to wish you every success for the future. Such dedication and commitment warrants it!

Needless to say, I will be recommending you to all my friends and acquaintances.

This fireplace that is shown in the picture below just looks absolutely fantastic in this room setting with the pale walls and the cream beige carpet I think it really makes a focal point of that chimney breast so if you are inspired by Mr Bennett’s photo of there fitted fireplace just click on the photo to take you straight through to that item
