A Selection of Fireplace Surrounds

Lees Building Contractors Ltd designs and installs bespoke fireplace surrounds crafted from premium tiles, metals and natural stone. Ideal for gas, wood or coal fireplaces and log burners, each surround is tailored to its setting, combining functional hearth protection with striking architectural detail.

Key Works & Features

• Custom Tile Surrounds:
  Hand‑selected ceramic, porcelain or natural stone tiles arranged in intricate patterns, with heat‑resistant grout and slip‑resistant hearth designs.

• Metal Cladding & Inlays:
  Steel, brass or copper panels formed and polished to frame modern gas fires or log burners—adding a contemporary industrial edge.

• Integrated Hearth Installation:
  Refractory slab bases and non‑combustible backboards ensure compliance with building regulations for safe operation.

• Mantel & Corbel Joinery:
  Bespoke solid oak, walnut or painted timber mantels paired with carved corbels and decorative mouldings to complement period or contemporary interiors.

Specialist Techniques & Materials

• Heat‑Resistant Fixings: Stainless‑steel anchors and high‑temperature adhesives to secure surrounds without thermal movement.

• Precision Metalworking: CNC‑cut panels and hand‑finished edges for seamless joins and consistent reflectivity.

• Stone Fabrication: Water‑jet cutting and honed finishes for sleek, uniform tile or slab installations.

• Regulation‑Compliant Construction: Installation in accordance with UK Building Regulations Part J for hearth construction and ventilation clearances.

Why This Project Stands Out

• Tailored Aesthetic: From Art Deco tile layouts to minimalist metal frames, each surround reflects the client’s style and the fireplace type.

• Safety & Durability: Built to last with non‑combustible materials and tested hearth systems for years of maintenance‑free use.

• Seamless Integration: Our team works with existing flues, mantels and chimneys to deliver a perfect, code‑compliant fit.

• Local Craftsmanship: All joinery, tiling and metalwork executed by our skilled West Country tradespeople.
