A careful surface-restoration project for a substantial inglenook fireplace. Birmingham Sandblasting refreshed the soot-darkened stone surround and hearth with a controlled, low-impact cleaning approach, bringing back the masonry's natural colour, texture and character without an unnecessarily aggressive treatment.

What was needed
The work covered the exposed stone across the inglenook surround and hearth. We assessed the masonry, protected the surrounding renovation area, and used finely controlled abrasive cleaning to lift accumulated soot, grime and surface deposits while respecting the original stone. The cleaned fireplace was left with a clearer, more even appearance and ready for the next stage of the renovation.
