Here is an example of a cast iron fireplace from the point of removal, through restoration and finally on show ready for sale.
1. As removed 2. Stripping
cast iron fireplace as removed Having sourced a suitable candidate for restoration we remove (where possible) and collect the entire chinmeypiece, grill, ash pan etc and recover it to our workshops.

 cast iron fireplace stripped The chimneypiece is chemically stripped of any painted finish it may have. We do not generally sand blast these pieces, preferring to complete the task by hand.

The ceramic tiles (where fitted is also cleaned and polished.
3. Refinishing 4. For sale in showroom
cast iron fireplace burnished

 Once stripped the chimneypiece, grill and any other accompanying furniture can be burnished and/or blacked, as appropriate. Again hand tools are used for this purpose

 cast iron fireplace ready for sale The transformation is now complete and the chimneypiece is ready for display in our fireplace showroom. The difference between "as-removed" condition and the finished article is tremendous.
