What does fireplace installation include?

Fireplace installations include help with any of the steps involved in setting up your fireplace, from choosing your heater to installing your chimney. And fireplace repairs include all sorts of tasks, like fixing a tile, unblocking your chimney, and repairing a door hinge. The exact inclusions will depend on the type of fireplace or heater you choose, but the most common ones are:

Wood fireplace installation

Fireplaces are built into your home’s structure, so the process of installing or repairing a wood fireplace or chimney is often quite involved. Your handyman will build around your fireplace unit, using timber, plasterboard, stone, bricks, and other materials to form the structure. They’ll set up a suitable chimney system based on the airflow and thermal dynamics in your building. They’ll tightly seal this to prevent smoke from coming back inside your home.

Wood heater installation

Your installer will start by positioning your hearth (usually made from brick, ceramic tile, or concrete) to provide a firm, safe base for your wood heater. Next, they’ll install your unit, connecting the flues (inside and outside, on your roof) to carry the smoke outside of your home.

Gas fireplace installation

Once you’ve chosen the best gas fireplace for your space (whether against a wall, built-in, freestanding, or inside your existing fireplace structure), your installer will help organise the gas line connection. If you don’t already have gas service to your place, they’ll arrange the connection or gas bottle delivery. Next, your fireplace installer will assemble all the parts, including the unit and flues. They’ll cut holes to place the flues through the ceiling and roof, ensuring all gaps are tightly sealed to prevent leaks and damage. Then they’ll connect up your gas and test your newly installed fireplace to make sure it works perfectly.

Electric fireplace installation

Your electric fireplace installer will start by plugging in and testing the fireplace to make sure it works. Then they’ll cut a wall opening to fit your fireplace. Next, they’ll connect up the power supply (you may need a licensed electrician for this step). Then it’s time to lift the fireplace unit into the wall opening before securing it into the wall studs with screws. Finally, they’ll install any decorations (like logs) that come with your fireplace and install the front glass panel.

Hi there. We are looking to get some quotes from licensed gas plumbers on how much it would cost to get gas run to an area of our house for a gas fireplace we are hoping to install some time early next year. To help with the quote I have included images of the house floor plan, outdoor unused BBQ utilities taps (which we think includes gas), roof type incase that matters and more. Please ignore our suggested price, we are looking for your recommended quotes as we do not know how much a project like this would cost. Thank you!

Hawthorn VIC 3122, Australia

18th Feb 2025

A kitchen, bathroom, large wardrobe, fireplace surround need to be removed for removal to Moe in West Gippsland. Transportation of the items will be by myself in a 4.2 m long pane truck. It may require two trips but the objective is to get the heavy and awkward items in the first load with the help of a small crew. The kitchen is modular but has two stone Benchtops, one of which is very large and will require three or four people to remove from the house. Cupboard doors and drawers are to be removed first. The kitchen sink is to be removed prior to moving the benchtop. The bathroom is small. Items to removed the shower screens, toilet, overhead fan lights and the vanity unit and sink. The fireplace includes the cast iron fire insert plus the wooden fireplace surround. The wardrobes in the master bedroom are large and will need to be broken down into its modules for removal. Doors are to be removed and handled separately. I will be there to assist in the process as I have handyman skills.

He is a great guy and a good worker. I’m very impressed with him.

I have a wood fireplace that needs to be installed. My Carpenter is building the chimney frame for the fireplace tomorrow so it will be ready for installation from about Friday onwards. The fireplace is a jetmaster 700 D with a zero clearance box. The installer will need to lay a Hebel base for the Fireplace to sit on and then flew up to the tiled roof. There is a hip in the roof that will need to be negotiated so I do have a corner piece of flue for this. - Due date: Flexible
