Chippendale Restorations

Stephen and his team did a fantastic job restoring one of our fireplaces and removing another. Incredible to find one company that can bring together multiple trades and restoration expertise for such a niche job. The gas unit which was installed heats the house without any issues and is a great feature, retaining the original heritage aesthetic while creating a practical source of warmth through winter. Highly recommend Chippendale restorations for their level of professionalism and expertise.

Hard to overdo the feedback for Stephen and his team that did our fireplaces. 3 fireplaces built as part of a much bigger renovation. The pictures don't do them justice. The guys from Chippendale all coped with our inevitable last minute changes and shifting time lines and still did a truly special job on time.I think the best compliments we've received have been from the other trades that came in and out of our house and observed the quality of the job and pointed out the little details that we werent even aware of.A job done properly, on time and on budget. Couldnt be happier!!

We started renovating our home last year.The scope involved the repair and replacement of three Victorian fireplaces with the classic marble mantles that had seen better days over more than 100 years. We also wanted to include gas conversion for two of these fireplaces.Let me say that we were very fortunate to make early contact with Stephen Peters at Chippendale.Stephen is a great communicator and we quickly learnt more than we had ever known about the design, the materials and the repair and installation processes involved.The work was completed extemely professionally and with very impressive attention to detail.Skilled tradespeople can be hard to locate at times, especially during 2020. However Stephen and his team offered another precious gift. They were a genuine pleasure to deal with during all discussions and during the work itself.And yes, they took the time and effort to make a service call at the end of the project to ensure everything was working the way it should.We cannot recommend Chippendale Fireplace Restoration too highly.

We used Chippendale Restorations to install two fireplaces and various period features (lighting, doors, windows) when we renovated our 1915 cottage in 2012. Nearly 10 years later, everything is still in ship shape - Steve serviced my fireplaces last week which I should get many more years from before I have to replace any parts. They have the best fireplace selection and service we found, and loads of additional products which keeps us going back.

We recently renovated a beautiful Federation home in Orange. Very long and cold winters in Orange. Stephen and Ken did a gas conversion and an amazing restoration on one of the original coal burning fireplaces. Bloody brilliant! See for yourself.

I can't recommend Stephen and his team more highly, It was always going to be tricky to fit a any sort of fireplace/fire into our tiny little terrace but they took the challenge up enthusiastically and did a brilliant job. Stephen's depth of knowledge and patience was absolutely amazing. We very much appreciated it and we're thrilled with the outcome. Thank you!

We have used Stephen's services in two different houses (one in Annandale and one in Glebe) for 3 fireplaces all up. The work that he and team have undertaken is phenomenal - two fireplaces in the current house have been expertly restored to 1880's beauty and a Wonderfire put into one of them, which is a terrific addition to heating an old house. Excellent service and attention to detail - we have recommended Stephen to others and would do so in a heartbeat again. Just brilliant.

Fantastic second hand and vintage building supply store. The have a huge warehouse full of used doors, windows, fireplaces and lamps as well as hardware for light switches, handles etc. they also have patterned old glass which is absolutely beautiful! A renovators dream!!!

Excellent customer service- Steve blew us away with fireplace advice. We'd been here before for many other things: buying windows, lights, door hardware, tiles etc but this was our first time to research fireplaces. Steve was incredibly knowledge and had a very high level of integrity. He went above and beyond for us, sharing all his wisdom and giving us so much of his time to figure out the right solution for our fire set up...even entertaining our children!Five star service+ great technical knowledge+ high level of integrity= that is what keeps us coming back!So lucky to have this place!!

Worst service of all time!! Speak to them and then you will hear arrogance infused with attitude. Incredibly unhelpful too. Stock is good but in my opinion just go look only you can find doors and locks at others shops with better service.
