Right First Time
“You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledge hammer on the construction site.”
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

Challenges are anticipated in advance and processes put in place, to ensure the smoothest trouble-free project, irrespective of scale or complexity. That’s where we believe the true value of our service lies.

Design
Your development needs great design, not ‘good enough’.
Although Chesneys boasts a well-known product range when it comes to Professional Contracts our clients value our in depth design services.
A successful design relies on a wealth of specialist experts, and our in house designers, draughtsmen, clay modellers, architectural historians and masons will bring your vision to life. While our experienced Procurement team ensure that the design can be realised, using the finest materials, with the least wastage and to a pre-agreed budget.
Manage
Achieving constant, consistent management.
With something as complex as the production and installation of a fireplace, high quality project management is vital to ensuring that you get what you want, when you want and for the price agreed. When the time comes for us to visit site our project management team meet with the principal contractor to guarantee programme target dates are hit.

At Chesneys we know two things to be true – firstly, a job can only be described as successful once it has been delivered on brief, on budget and on time – and secondly that you are only as good as your last job. So, we have no time for sitting on our laurels or resting on our reputation. We know that we have to get it right first time, every time.

Our company’s ability to manage the stonework element of a project is not limited to technical expertise in the fields of masonry and carving but also includes the key elements of design, material selection and procurement, services which are all delivered through a single point of responsibility.
Flue Lining
By law, every working fireplace, whether using solid fuel or a class one gas fire is required to have a functioning flue in good condition.
In order to tackle this problem, and in our constant effort to facilitate customers’ enjoyment of their chimneypieces, Chesneys has introduced a flue lining co-ordination service in addition to our existing installation service. A sound working flue is essential so that noxious fumes can escape up the chimney and not find their way back into the building through gaps or leaks.
Materials
We consistently search for the finest materials, regularly visiting quarries throughout Europe and Asia, looking for new materials to add to our portfolio and seeking out original and inventive ways of using these.
Manuals
While many stages of the surround and decorative hearth installation are suitable for someone experienced in general building practices, others like the installation of appliances for solid fuel…
Maintenance
Chesneys invaluable information sheets, guides and manuals, available to download.
