slate hearth
Does anyone know anywhere that will supply and cut me an oblong of slate for my fireplace hearth?
I also want someone to make me a fireplace surround maybe in a nice wood, as all the ones from B&Q etc are too wide for my chimney breast.
Thanks all!

We used Firetrade as we wanted a non-standard size. We chose the stone and style of surround and they made them to measure. Was well impressed with the installation as well.
They have a showroom where they have loads of stuff on show.
Firetrade UK, Old Nazeing Road, Broxbourne, EN10 6RJ, 01992 451241.

Ridley, I have used Martin Castle in Tower Street, for my Victorian fire surround made to my own design in hardwood, he is very good, as for slate I bought mine from Firetrade years ago, and it still looks good, don't forget to keep the slate oiled,

I was going to suggest Martin as well he makes one offs so your best bet for the surround I would have thought.
