Installed an electric fire in our house. After a year, it developed a problem. I was impressed how the company really took responsibility and were determined to fix the issue - coming round 3 times and investigating it properly, eventually resealing the chimney stack. Now the fire works well. would recommend.

First time viewing fireplaces, very attentive and thorough review review of options. As someone who hates the big sell, I found it very welcoming and very much based on our needs not just getting another fire out the door. Would definitely recommend

Danny and Billy are a pleasure to work with. GEF have a great selection of options and high quality finishes. We spent an evening discussing options and the team helped us thoroughly explore flue systems that would meet our preference and be suitable for our space. The installation team was fast, flexible, efficient and professional- the end result is beautiful.

They turned up on time and completed an outstanding job. Fire and finish both internal and external look great. They even solved a problem with the draw on our old smokeless fuel fire. Stuck to estimate. It was a bit of a wait for the installation but more than worth it.
