New Gas Fire

[Debbiea]

We have removed our old gas fire and would like to replace it with a new modern one. We need advice on choosing a new one. Are all fires standard size. We will be getting a corgi registered work to complete the fitting.

there are lots of fires, and different types for different situations
if the fitter is someone you know call him and discuss it, preferably with a home visit because unless you are prepared to make changes to the hearth ,there are only certain types of fire for each hearth
not every fire will fit every hearth

We had a fireplace built from handmade bricks , the Corgi
fitter and the brickie had a a big row as handmade bricks and
technology do not go together , we did resolve the problem , and the fireplace is lovely . Most people go for marble , but it
is down to what you want , and the type of house you have .

Have a look at these sites. Every fire should come up with dimensions or whether it is inset/ wall hanging or freestanding etc.
