Where Are Your Fireplaces Made?

We make all of the fireplaces we offer in our own workshops in Arundel, West Sussex. Classic Mantels are one of the few companies still hand-crafting fire surrounds in the UK, and are proud to be members of The List, Made in Britain and the Heritage Crafts Association.

How do You Make Your Fireplaces?

We employ a small team of highly experienced stone masons and joiners to make our fireplaces. They carefully select the materials needed to make each fire surround, use highly accurate saws to prepare the component pieces required and then it’s on to the bench to lovingly handcraft each mantel.

What Materials do You Use to Make Your Fireplaces?

We believe nothing beats the unique beauty of natural materials and use only the finest Mediterranean & English limestones, Continental marbles and furniture grade timber to make our fireplaces. Examples of the most popular materials we offer can be found in the CHOOSE A MATERIAL section.

Can I Change The Size or Material of a Fireplace?

All of our standard fireplace designs can be made in different sizes and in any readily available timber or stone.

Can You Make a Fireplace to My Design?

Classic Mantels specialise in bespoke work and can make a fireplace to any design in any readily available material. You local Dealer will be able to advise you more.

Can I Visit Your Workshop?

Yes, you are welcome to visit our workshop to see how our fireplaces are made and view the materials we use. Visits are by appointment only, so that we can make sure someone is available to show you around.
