Fireplaces and fires for Redditch

Start with the showroom

Redditch customers can browse the range online, then visit the Earlswood showroom near Solihull to compare marble, fires and samples before asking for a quote. It is a short run up from Redditch.

Redditch homes range from newer estate houses to older properties, and not every room has a chimney breast to work with. Because everything is made to measure, we can suit the surround to the room, including flat-wall installations where there is no recess.

Within easy reach of Redditch from the Earlswood showroom.

The showroom is at Unit 6, Earlswood Garden & Landscape Centre, Forshaw Heath Road, Solihull, B94 5JU. Thursday to Saturday and Monday, 9:30 to 3:30, and Sunday 10 to 2. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fireplaces and stone in Redditch

Redditch has a real mix of homes, from post-war and newer estate housing to older properties in the surrounding villages. Newer rooms often have a flat wall rather than a chimney breast, which suits a made-to-measure surround built as a flat-wall fix, while an older room can carry something more traditional in marble or limestone. Either way the piece is cut to the room rather than chosen off a shelf.

We recently made a Sierra fireplace in Blanco Micro marble for a Redditch home with no recess for the fire, built with a deeper rebate so the fire sits neatly within the surround. It is a good example of how a flat-wall installation can still look like a proper built-in fireplace.

That Redditch case study is important because it answers a common no-chimney question honestly. The customer wanted a proper fireplace focal point, but the room did not have a chimney breast or recess. The solution was a suitable electric fire and a made-to-measure surround adapted to the wall.

For Redditch homes with a flat wall, the fire depth and surround rebate need to be considered together. If those details are ignored, the fire can look added on rather than built in. The Sierra project used a deeper rebate so the Celsi DLX 600XT sat neatly within the Blanco Micro marble.

Older Redditch properties may suit a more traditional marble or limestone fireplace, especially where there is already an opening or chimney breast. In those rooms, the discussion is usually about scale, hearth width, fire choice and whether gas, electric or stove is the right route.

There are no Redditch-specific combo pages on the site, so the useful starting points are the main fireplaces, electric fires, gas fires and stoves ranges. The Redditch area page is here to connect those routes to the real flat-wall job we have published.

The showroom near Solihull is still useful for Redditch customers because marble and micro marble are easier to judge in person. Bring photos of the whole wall, not just a close-up, so we can see whether the room wants a flat-wall electric fireplace, a traditional surround or a stove setting.

If the project involves decorating or flooring, plan the fireplace early. A flat-wall fix, hearth depth and cable route are all easier to make tidy before the room is finished.
