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.

I’m after a skilled tiler to complete a small-format tiling job on a heritage fireplace hearth in my Edwardian home in Fitzroy.

Great tiling job with good attention to detail. Clear communication. Highly recommend.

A gas heater removed from a fire place and the inside of it tiled

St Kilda VIC, Australia

31st Jul 2025

The gas to an existing gas fireplace has been capped off. I need the fireplace pulled out and the vacant space tiled to make the area ornamental as I do not want to replace it with another fireplace. The photo with the gas heater is what it currently looks like. The other pictures are what I want it to look similar to. I want the tiling to match the current blue heart. The chimney will also need to be sealed to prevent water damage. The fireplace is 65 x 63 so quite small.

Fix chimney leaking into fireplace

$600

St Kilda VIC, Australia

23rd May 2025

Had chimney flashing redone but they did a poor job and made it worse. The fireplace has a plastered finished and there are some damp spots in the plaster where the water has pooled. Someone looked at it last week through the man hole and could see water coming through where the flashing is. Also some nail holes on tin roof that need to be covered from the guy who did the flashing. They couldn’t complete the job in the end so looking for someone who can. You will need fall arrest equipment. - Due date: Flexible

Michael was at my house the same day and sorted out the problem. Great to work with.
