This very nice example a Yorkshire actually resides in Northamptonshire. We were called out to to survey the range, remove an unwanted back boiler, rebuild the firebox and brick flue above, decommission the oven flue and then give the whole range a good polish. I’m pleased to say it draws well and certainly looks the part. The owners are thrilled and so is King the Vizsla.

Yorkshire Range restoration
This range was found boarded up in a room that had been used as a dentists surgery in Batley. When we arrived the range was evidently in very poor order with parts missing, damaged or simply corroded so badly that they were as thin as paper. We removed the range, took it back to our workshops and after a lot of work were able to reinstate it in the same fireplace. Much to the delight of our client we lit a fire before leaving to test the range and demonstrate how it works. It was the first fire lit in its grate for over 80 years.

1870s Carron Company ‘Open Range’
This is an interesting ‘open range’ that we restored for a client in Scotland. It dates from the 1870s and was most likely manufactured by Carron Company, Stirlingshire. It was in a terrible state when it arrived with several missing parts and many original parts beyond repair. We carried out the full restoration here at our workshops in Bristol and brought it back to life again before shipping it back to Scotland to be installed.
