Fires
Solid fuel fires in the Berkshire area
At Berkshire Fireplace Centre, we pride ourselves on our expertise in providing you a selection of diverse and stylish solid fuel fires.
For those who have a chimney and prefer the beauty and ambiance of a real fire, you have never had so much choice in what is available. No longer do you have to lose most of the heat up the chimney from a traditional basket style fire.
Ecodesign fires are glass fronted and, as well as burning cleaner, also give convected heat, greatly improving the efficiency of your fire. You can install them into fireplaces or as a hole-in-the-wall — the choice is yours and we can help deliver your ideal design.
We’re happy to offer personalised guidance on selecting the ideal fire style that suits your home, all while considering your budget and requirements.

Common questions
Before you book
What areas do you cover?
We cover a 20 mile radius from Reading. The main locations we cover are Reading, Maidenhead, Henley, Ascot, Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Thatcham and Basingstoke.
You've closed the showroom — how do I see anything?
We bring the showroom to you. We visit your home with detailed brochures and fireplace samples, look at the space, the chimney and the style of the house, and help you choose the design, fuel and installation that suit it. Seeing samples against your own walls and floor, in your own light, is a far better guide than a showroom.
Can I install the fireplace myself?
Fireplace installation requires strict safety regulations so you will need to have a certified installer do the installation for you. This can be done by our experienced engineers, or by your own builders if they are confident doing so.
How can I be sure that a new fireplace can be installed in my home?
After you have chosen your new fireplace we will carry out a free home visit where our experienced surveyor will check that the fireplace is suitable for your chimney, and at the same time assess the work involved in the installation. They will give you a quote for the installation work and answer any questions you have about the process.
Do you do a free survey?
Yes. Once you’ve decided what you want us to put in, we’ll carry out a technical survey to make sure everything fits and can be installed safely by our qualified Gas Safe and HETAS engineers.
