Wonderful service from this company from Emily and Dimitri. Dimitri serviced our wood burning stove and put a new cowl on the chimney. It is now much easier to light a fire. Efficient friendly service.

I approached Maidenhead Fireplace Centre to replace two hearths that had been very poorly fitted by a company in Windsor. I found all the staff were polite and helpful and the service was quick and very professional. I am very happy with my new hearths and would 100% recommend the team

If you're looking for exceptional service and high quality goods, look no further. We initially went with these guys because they were based on our road, but from our initial enquiry to full fit out we've been met with very friendly, knowledgeable and professional service. Would 100% recommend

I totally recommend these guys, we had a log burner and fireplace installed in a new build, they were brilliant from start to finish. They worked very hard to accommodate my timescale, the price was good and I could not fault their work (I am very fussy too!). I am absolutely thrilled with the result, they deserve to be busy as they take great pride in their work which is so lovely to see.

We recently bought a Chesney log burner. The whole experience has been brilliant. All staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The guidance on which log burner would be best for our awkward room and chimney set up was brilliant. We have been very happy with the price and the quality of both the product and the service. The installation team kept our home clean and did a great job with a tricky fireplace and chimney set up. Our new log burner is super efficient, kicks out loads of heat and looks lovely.

We recently bought a Chesney log burner and a Chesney gas fire from Maidenhead Fireplace. We visited the showroom and had an excellent demonstration of the fires, and received some really good advice. After a home visit, the installation was well planned, quick and efficient. The whole team were extremely helpful and polite, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. The fires looks great!
