Customer reviews
What our customers are saying
We engaged Ember & Co. to restore a feature fireplace in our period property, and the level of craftsmanship was exceptional. They clearly understand the nuances of working with older buildings and were able to navigate the restoration without compromising the character of the room. Professional, HETAS-certified, and remarkably tidy. Highly recommended if you want the job done.
From the initial home survey to the final installation of our new wood burner, the communication from Ember & Co. was excellent. They provided a clear breakdown of the costs and the timeline, with no hidden surprises. It’s rare to find a heating specialist that is as reliable as they are knowledgeable. Our living room is now the center of our home—would definitely use them again.
I had concerns about flue compatibility in our property, but the team at Ember & Co. took the time to explain all the technical requirements and recommended the perfect solution for our space. They made a complex installation feel straightforward. If you’re looking for genuine expertise rather than just a quick fix, these are the people to call. A fantastic, professional service.
