Stone Fireplaces

Stone fireplaces in the Berkshire area

At Berkshire Fireplace Center, we pride ourselves on our expertise in sourcing and installing top-quality stone fireplaces. Visit our showroom to browse through our extensive collection of exquisite stone fireplace designs.

Stone surrounds come in many different stones and designs. From the smooth finish of Portuguese limestone to the ever-increasingly popular coarser finishes of sandstone, stone continues to be the material of choice for many new homes.

The surrounds in our showroom are shown with variety of different fires and most of them can be adapted to fit different styles of fire and usually the openings can be altered to the appropriate size.

We're happy to offer personalized guidance on selecting the ideal fireplace style that suits your home, all while considering your budget and available space. Apart from stone fireplaces we also stock marble and wood fireplaces.

Stone Fireplace FAQs

We cover areas within a 20 mile radius of our showroom (346-348 Oxford Road, Reading, Berkshire). The main areas we cover are: Reading, Maidenhead, Henley, Ascot, Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Thatcham and Basingstoke.

Unfortunately we only offer installation on fireplaces purchased through our showroom.

Stone fireplaces do not need a certificate on their own, but the appliance installed in them may require a Gas Safe (gas fires/stoves) or HETAS (solid fuel fires/stoves) certificate which will be provided following the installation.

If you do not want a stone fireplace we also stock marble and wood fireplaces. You can view these in our showroom.

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.

Yes, we have a driveway between ourselves and the White Eagle pub garden or you can use the Tesco development which is accessible from Portman Road. Park and walk up to Oxford Road, with Tesco on your right, and turn left. We're a few doors down.

Yes, there is a ramp leading through the double doors into the showroom.

For general cleaning, give the fireplace an overall wipe with a damp sponge using clean water. Stubborn stains can be removed by a light sanding with a very fine sandpaper or emery cloth, followed by washing as previously described. Stone fireplace cleaners are also available. Accidental spillages should be washed off with plain water before they are allowed to dry out. Candles are best kept away from the fireplace as the wax will mark the stone and would be difficult to remove. With more serious problems, our team are on hand to offer advice.

What Our Customers Say About Us

From my first visit to your showroom, until the final event, your staff [Sam and Jack] have been so kind, helpful and patient. Their sense of humour has helped enormously!

G.C.Cullham - Goring-On-Thames

Best service I've ever received staff are fantastic and they gave me a great deal on a nice fireplace.

Sonney Ward - Purely-On-Thames, Berkshire

I had horrible blank protruding walls with no character. Berkshire Fireplace has lovely staff who offered me genuine advice on the right fit for my style and size of property. They kept me informed all through the purchase and are reliable workers. I bought two fires from them at an affordable rate and would commend their workmanship and customer service. Highly recommended.

Phi James - Reading, Berkshire

Today I had an electric fire installed into a Victorian fireplace. Very few around and Berkshire Fireplace Centre sourced me one and installed it today. Graham could not have been more helpful, it was not a straight forward installation but he never gave up! Cannot thank Graham and the team enough. They also have an amazing showroom in Reading displaying fires, stoves etc.Great service. Thank you.

Jennie T-D - Cookham, Maidenhead, Berkshire

Had Gazco Vogue Midi stove installed in conservatory, alongside the required gas works. Excellent job completed by Matthew and Graham (father and son team). Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful as well as being immaculately clean and tidy. Look brilliant - would highly recommend.

Richard Sara Higham - Woodley, Reading, Berkshire

Mum and I visited a few months ago and were assisted by a young gentleman (I've forgotten his name, sorry). He politely greeted us, answered some questions, and left us to to browse, before assisting us with putting in an order. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and lovely. Prior to this we had also called as mum has mobility issues and we were unsure of parking, and he said we could pull up in the staff parking area. We later interacted with Sam and our fitter, Graham, and his colleague. All were lovely and we were particularly impressed and grateful when Graham picked up on my hesitancy post fitting and fed back, meaning Sam realised there had been a mistake/miscommunication with the order, and they proactively contacted us to fix.

Melanie Jones, - Earley, Reading, Berkshire

Highly recommend. Fitted our Gazco 135R electric fire with very little mess or disruption. The fitting and making good all to a high very standard. Very happy with finished job. Looks amazing.
