Introduction

The way that modern surrounds are constructed makes installing one a very simple job that anyone can undertake successfully.

If you are installing a gas fire in a fireplace, it must be installed by a member of CORGI (Confederation of Registered Gas Installers). For further information contact: Gas Service Agents - Tel 0906 8517651.

A fireplace is the focal point of a room and there are now so many wonderful surrounds available that you can't fail to create an eye-catching feature.

Even if you don't like an existing fireplace surround, someone else may do; so remove it carefully and put any money you get for it towards the cost of your new surround.

Your brand-new surround can be further enhanced by having a companion set comprising brush, tongs and shovel, plus a coal hod and a firescreen.
