Hearth Laying Services in North Devon and Cornwall

Your hearth is more than just a functional base for your stove or fireplace—it’s a centrepiece that adds character, safety, and style to your living space. Whether you’re restoring an existing hearth or installing a completely new one, The Fire Works is here to help with expert hearth laying services across North Devon, Exmoor, and North Cornwall.

We work with all types of heating systems, including open fires, wood burners, and multi-fuel stoves, and can install or rejuvenate hearths to suit your appliance, room layout, and aesthetic preferences. From modern minimalist designs to rustic stone features, we’ll help you choose a hearth that enhances your home while meeting all current safety standards and building regulations.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating a tired or damaged hearth, we offer a complete service that includes:

  • Removal of old or unsafe hearths
  • Advice on suitable hearth sizes and clearances
  • Installation of fireproof bases and insulation where required
  • Laying of new hearth materials (including slate, granite, stone, tile, or concrete)
  • Finishing and sealing for long-lasting durability

We also offer impartial advice on design and materials, ensuring your hearth complements both your appliance and the room around it. We understand that each home is unique, and we’ll guide you through the best options to suit your heating setup and style preferences—without the hard sell.

All hearths are laid by our experienced team, and if part of a stove or fire installation, the project will be carried out by our HETAS-registered engineers, giving you full peace of mind that your hearth and appliance meet the necessary safety regulations.
