Top Fireplace Installation related questions
Fireplace installation costs  range from £64 - £242 when you book the service through Airtasker. Fireplace repairs will sometimes cost less than this, while major installations will often cost more. Specify the details of your task to get the best quotes when hiring a Tasker for fireplace installation in your area.
Yes. If you’re installing a wood burning fireplace or wood heater, you’ll need a chimney installed as part of the service. Make sure you confirm this with your technician when you book on Airtasker.
Yes. Gas and electric fireplaces don’t require chimneys as they don’t produce smoke. Different types of modern fireplaces are also available, such as ventless gas fireplaces and ethanol fireplaces. Choose the fireplace design that suits your home and have a Tasker install it for you.
For wood-burning fireplaces, requirements can vary, but any installation must comply with local building regulations to ensure it is safe. However, work on gas fireplaces must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer by law. Hiring a qualified professional helps to ensure quality workmanship and a safe installation.
Fireplace installations can take as little as 4 hours for an electric fireplace and up to one week for a wood fireplace installation. Complex masonry work may require more time and effort to get your fireplace installed.
This depends on what your priorities are, whether aesthetics, heat, efficiency, or convenience. Wood heaters offer great heating efficiency compared to the alternatives, while a wood fireplace is a classic look, and gas/electric are generally low-maintenance options.

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
Traditional 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 gas. 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.
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.Â

Supply & install tile border & fireproof cement board around fireplace
£350
Canley, West Midlands
15th Jul 2026
I'm looking for someone to build a new box-style structure inside my fireplace using fireproof cement board — that means a front panel plus panels on either side and above, so it forms a complete shape around the log burner. Once that's in place, I only want the front panel tiled in a red-and-white checkerboard pattern. The tiles will be supplied by me. You'll need to bring everything else: the cement board, heat-resistant adhesive, heat-resistant grout, and a paintable fireproof caulk for the joins. The side and top panels you build won't be tiled and don't need painting, so they can be left as bare cement board. The log burner will stay in place, so the work needs to be done around it. The existing surround and hearth shouldn't be touched. I just want a clean, safe tiled border on the front, with a properly built cement-board structure behind it. i've attched the current view plus the view i'm trying to create.
