Good afternoon to you i have had a lovely morning today after stopping at the East Lodge Country House Hotel last night for dinner and stopping in the luxury four poster room and returning back to work this morning just before lunch.
We both really had a nice evening and a lovely meal.
The East lodge Hotel also has some very nice fireplaces in it all original to the building and i must say the saddo that i am had a little look at a few of them whilst my wife was eleswhere.
The one in the four poster suite was a white marble surround with a large horseshoe arched insert to it which was painted with gloss paint.
Not a very good restoration job im afraid and the bars were missing but im sure most of the guests would not bat an eyelid at this but being in the fireplace trade i noticed straight away.
I an pretty sure we could source some bars for it if they really wanted them anyway thats another story, so im now sat at my desk completing orders and arranging delivery times for the work our fantastic website did whilst we were away.
Thats the joy of being in this job you can go away for a few days and then come back to a pile of work but on the downside when you do want some time away you can not just switch it off.
So thanks again to the Eastlodge for our complimentary champagne and i would really recommend stopping there if you fancy a really nice evening away

Original Cast Iron Fireplaces at East Lodge
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Do we sell Spares for original Victorian Fireplace
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009Do we stock spares for an original fireplace was a question I was first asked by a customer this morning who had left a message on our answering machine we start at 8AM in the morning in the week and at 9AM at the weekends so to have message earlier than this is unusual, anyway I rang them back to find out what they were after as we do have a work copy of the spares brochure listing all the spare parts we offer from bar sets to hoods and simple ash pans to cast iron replacement mantels all available for the range of fireplaces we sell and replacement parts to suit originals too.
After sending me an email with some images and sizes on I soon found the items they were missing.
This particular fireplace was simple to sort out as it was only missing a set of bars and a set of Tiles and was I must say a bargain at the £145 they had paid for it at a salvage auction.
The bars we had in stock from a Galway Fireplace that I somehow let fall over in our workshop damaging it beyond repair and the tiles they choose were from our website and were the Jazz Ivory Lilac which we also keep in stock so they have all been wrapped and sent by next Day delivery to a very happy customer.
In most cases we can supply Replacement parts for original fireplaces so just email us or contact us and we can see if we can order the parts to restore you Victorian or Other fireplace to its former Glory.
So another thing explained you were not perhaps aware of what we do here at Cast and Pine Direct we do try to go that extra bit more to make sure we offer service second to none
