ABOUT US
“A Chesneys fireplace should be the best there is. That was our aim when we founded the company, and it remains the same today. To ensure that we achieve this we must remain passionately committed to our key values”
Paul Chesney – Founder and Managing Director.
Chesneys was founded nearly 40 years ago by Paul Chesney. It had a single showroom and small workshop in London and concentrated exclusively on the restoration and sale of antique English fireplaces.
Today Chesneys is still a family-owned run business but during the intervening years it has developed a unique portfolio of luxury heating products and become a globally recognized brand. It now has showrooms in London, New York, Shanghai and Beijing. It also has over 200 authorized Stockists selling its products throughout the UK, Europe, Japan and Australasia. It has its own manufacturing facilities in the UK, China and Portugal and distribution centres in Nottingham and New Jersey.
Chesneys prides itself on its innovation and product design, investing in an on-going programme of research and development. As a result, it now boasts the most diverse portfolio of products of any company in the luxury heating sector. These include fireplaces, wood burning stoves and gas, electric and ethanol fires. Most recently, Chesneys launched a range of hybrid Outdoor products, which, uniquely, combine a heating and cooking functionality that has worldwide patent protection.
The company’s success has been based on an uncompromising dedication to its core values. These have remained unchanged over the years and are simply expressed as a commitment to outstanding craftsmanship, intelligent engineering and innovative design. These have been the cornerstones of our success, accompanied by an aspiration to deliver service levels of the highest standard.
The company is continuing to expand its horizons. Late 2020 saw the opening of a new showroom in London’s Chelsea Design Quarter and highlights of new product development include a focus on environmentally friendly decorative heating solutions that use ethanol and electricity. Work, as ever, also continues in the design and development of new fireplace designs.
“Northacre developments are synonymous with the very highest quality, design and attention to detail. I believe that Chesneys share this vision of excellence and have for many years supplied stunning fireplaces for all of our landmark development projects in central London...Unique in their industry, Chesneys have consistently demonstrated the commitment and professionalism required to successfully deliver projects of substantial scale and great complexity.”
KLAS NILSSON, CHAIRMAN | NORTHACRE PLC
“We purchased this wood burning stove from you last autumn and I thought I would write to tell you how delighted we are with the product. Perhaps you could say that Monty the cat is even more delighted, judging by this photo. I thought it would be nice to share the happiness your stove has brought to us.”
KERRY, BARNY AND MONTY, E18.
“The influence is from my 1930s aunt and of course the Garbo and Dietrich films from that period as well as the tropical Art Deco of Miami Beach, where I now live...I was absolutely delighted to work with Chesneys. I have always wanted to collaborate with them, as they are the premiere fireplace company.”
