If you want it, we can probably make it
Any fire
Most electric and gas fires work with a standard surround. For a glass-fronted HE gas fire, freestanding electric fire, stove or open fire, choose our high heat upgrade so the surround won't warp or peel.
Any finish
Have most surrounds in any of our woods, or painted in our standard colours at no extra cost. Only we offer any British Standard paint colour. We can also send it unstained or base-coated for you to finish at home.
Free advice
We'll check your surround fits your fire, back panel and hearth. Give us your one important measurement and we'll work out the rest, or send your sizes and we'll check they look right.
Plan your sizes
Change a measurement and the drawing updates as you go. We always check and confirm your sizes with you before we make anything.

The example is a typical classic surround. Each surround's own sizes are on its product page under Dimensions.
Which rebate do you need?
The rebate is the gap behind the legs that lets the surround sit over your back panel. Pick what's going behind your surround.
Standard 1" rebate
Every surround comes with a 1" rebate, which suits our granite and marble back panels. You don't need to tell us anything.

Made to measure questions
Do I need a made to measure surround?
Maybe not. Each style comes in one size, but every style is a different size, so one may already fit. You'll find the sizes on every product page under Dimensions.
I want my surround to fit a specific space
We do this all the time. Call us with your important measurement and we'll work out everything else. If you'd like to try yourself, use the planner above. We're always happy to do it for you.
Can I have it painted bright pink?
Yes. We can paint your surround any British Standard colour, as found in colour guides from Crown or Macpherson. Choose from a paper swatch or sample pot rather than a screen, then call us on 01422 250 723. This can add a little time, to around 4 weeks, and we send you the leftover paint for touch-ups.
The one I love is the wrong size
For £95 we can change the height, width, depth, leg size and almost anything else. You can enter your new sizes on the product page and we'll check them when your order arrives. We never go ahead without confirming every size with you.
What are the largest sizes you make?
Up to 60" (1524mm) wide and 48" (1219mm) high, with legs up to 8" wide. Need bigger? Call us and we'll do our best.
I'm not confident working out my sizes
No problem. Call us on 01422 250 723, Monday to Friday 10am–4pm, and we'll work out the best sizes for your room.
I'm fitting a stove, open fire or glass-fronted fire
Standard surrounds from any supplier aren't made for high heat. We can upgrade almost all our surrounds and guarantee they won't warp or peel when fitted to the fire maker's instructions.
I only need the rebate changing
Our surrounds come with a 1" rebate, and removing the rebate strips gives 3". If you need 3" or less, add a note at checkout. There's no charge and we'll confirm it on your invoice. For more than 3", please call us. How to measure a rebate
Built properly, delivered by our own team
Our Classic and Modern surrounds use real hardwood veneers, and our Solid Oak surrounds are made from kiln-dried European oak. Painted surrounds go through a four-stage process for a smooth, flawless finish.
Every surround is checked before it leaves our workshop and delivered by our own driver in a two-hour slot. We unpack it so you can inspect it before we leave. We never use a courier.
