A well-designed fireplace adds more than warmth — it brings atmosphere, character, and value to your home. Whether you’re updating a tired space or building a brand-new focal point, Fireplace Construction and custom False Chimney Breasts are a stylish and practical solution.
At Somerset Stoves, we specialise in expert Fireplace Construction and the creation of beautiful, functional False Chimney Breasts, tailored to suit your space, style, and heating needs.
What is fireplace construction?
Fireplace Construction is the skilled process of building a fireplace structure that supports a stove or fire, complies with safety regulations, and fits seamlessly with your interior. It includes:
- Preparing the hearth and wall area
- Installing flue systems and fire-resistant materials
- Designing the aestetic finish - whether rustic, modern or traditional.
With Somerset Stoves, you get experienced fireplace builders who understand both the technical and visual aspects. We work with stone, brick, plasterboard and bespoke materials to create a fireplace that enhances your home.
Creating a new fireplace
What are false chimney breasts?
Not every home has a chimney — and that’s where False Chimney Breasts come in. These are custom-built studwork structures that mimic a real chimney breast. They’re ideal for:
- Housing wood-burning, gas, or electric stoves
- Creating a central feature wall
- Hiding pipework, flues, or cabling
At Somerset Stoves, our made-to-measure false chimney breasts can be built to any size, with alcoves, mantels, media walls or log stores included in the design. They offer complete flexibility and style for modern and period properties alike.
