Old Flames is an absolutely brilliant company. Communicative, very personable and fantastic team - from purchase to (incredibly professional) fitting. Just a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Thank you Jo & Phil!

Beyond impressed with Old Flames. Not only are Jo and Phil incredibly knowledgable, they're also incredibly patient and helpful. A really dedicated service from a small company who clearly care a lot about their craft.
From sourcing the perfect grate and restoring the surround expertly, to recommending the additional fitters and chimney technicians I'd need they advised and assisted along the entire process whilst also being very understanding of my deadlines and budget.
I couldn't be more pleased with my final fireplace and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Jo really knows her stuff and guided me through the design process, all done via photos, over the phone and emails. The installation guys were also brilliant. I now have two amazing fireplaces that look like they have been there for past 200 years. So pleased I found this exceptional family run business. Thank you.

Jo was extremely helpful in working out the accurate measurements for my fireplace. It’s arrived and surpasses my expectations. It will finish the lounge off perfectly. Thanks Jo!

The grey marble fireplace Old Flames sold us was perfect and just as they had described. Jo has been extremely helpful throughout with both the fireplace and loads of other related questions. Very much appreciated, five stars on all counts!

Absolutely thrilled with our fire surround - Jo was incredibly patient and helped us measure and remeasure to ensure the bespoke size was perfect. It looks absolutely amazing, could not be happier with the quality and service. Wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

A fantastic business to deal with who bent over backwards to ensure we got the right fireplace and to make sure we were 100% happy - Jo bent over backwards at a busy time of year for us so thank you very much indeed. Our fireplace and surround are of fantastic quality and look excellent fitted. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service. They found me the perfect period hob grate for my Georgian fire surround and built a brilliant wooden shipper to get it delivered to me safely. Can't recommend highly enough. They really know their stuff!

Our Georgian hob grate was installed yesterday and looks fantastic. Jo worked out all the dimensions long distance and everything fits perfectly with good proportions. It looks as though it has always been there. I received excellent advice every step of the way. Jo is not only very knowledgable, she is also friendly and extremely patient! The installer she recommends did a first class job. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
