Rooms with an existing fireplace
A gas fire can suit a traditional fireplace wall when the flue and product requirements work.

Gas fires in Birmingham
A gas fire can suit Birmingham rooms where the fireplace is still the natural focal point and the property has the right gas and flue route.
gas fires Birmingham
This page is for gas fires Birmingham specifically. The broader Birmingham area page covers all local fireplace, fire and stove services from Sontuoso Stone.
Birmingham has many homes where the chimney breast is still part of the room. If the property can take gas safely, a gas fire and made-to-measure stone surround can keep the fireplace as a real-flame focal point without moving to a solid-fuel stove.
The broader town hub is the Birmingham area page, which covers the wider fireplace, fire and stove service for Birmingham.
Process
How the gas fire supply and fitting route works
01
Tell us the room
Send photos, rough measurements and what you want the room to feel like, or bring them into the showroom so we can look at the fireplace wall properly.
02
We design and quote
We check the opening, flue route and style before quoting. Where gas work is involved, Lewis handles the Gas Safe side so the route is judged properly.
03
We make the stonework
The surround, hearth, chamber, panel or trim is cut in our own Midlands workshop to the measurements and finish agreed for the room.
04
We fit it
Once the product and stonework are ready, the fitting is arranged around the room, the access and the finish needed, with the details confirmed before work begins.
How we quote
What affects the quote
We do not give a useful figure until we understand the room. The quote is affected by the size of the opening or wall, the product chosen, the stone or porcelain finish, the hearth depth, the amount of made-to-measure work and whether the job is a chimney opening, a flat-wall fix or a built-out feature.
Photos and rough measurements are enough for a first conversation. Before anything is made, we confirm the important details and give you a clear written route, so the price reflects the actual room rather than a guess from a catalogue image.
Best for
Who this suits
Real flame without fuel storage
Useful when you want flame and heat without logs or bioethanol fuel.
Stone surrounds
The hearth and surround can be made around the chosen gas fire and room proportions.
Real project
A case study to compare
Two bespoke limestone fireplaces in Henley-in-Arden
This gas-fire project is outside Birmingham, but it is the clearest current case study showing bespoke stone surrounds made around gas fires.

Why is the linked gas case study not in Birmingham?
It is the strongest current gas-fire case study we hold. It proves the stone-and-gas route without inventing a Birmingham gas project.
