Installation Info
Installing Your Oak Fireplace Surround
Our fireplace surrounds are supplied ready to install, with fixings included. The surround consists of two side legs and a mantel shelf — these are fixed to the wall individually before being assembled in place, giving a clean, professional finish.
What's Included
Every surround is supplied with fixings matched to your wall type — masonry (brick, block, stone) or plasterboard. Detailed fitting instructions are included with your order.
Before You Start
We recommend waiting until your surround has arrived before marking the wall — hold each leg in position and mark directly through the fixing points for accurate placement. Check that the floor is level before you begin; if it isn't, small packers under the legs can be used to ensure the surround sits square before fixing.
Fixing the Legs
Position each leg against the wall at either side of the fireplace opening, ensuring they are level and plumb. Mark through the fixing points onto the wall, drill at the marked positions, and fix the legs securely using the supplied fixings. For masonry walls, use the supplied wall plugs and screws. For plasterboard walls, fix into the timber studs behind the board where possible — use a stud finder (under £15 from any DIY store) to locate them. Where studs aren't accessible, use the supplied plasterboard fixings.
Fitting the Mantel
Once both legs are fixed and confirmed level, the mantel simply slides onto concealed rod supports — the same system used for our fireplace beams. No screws or adhesive are required; the mantel locates onto the rods for a clean, seamless finish.
A Note on Wall Integrity
The above assumes the wall is in good condition. Crumbling mortar, hollow masonry, or weak plasterboard will reduce holding strength. If you're unsure about your wall type or condition, we'd recommend using a qualified tradesperson to ensure a safe, lasting installation.

Our Oak Surrounds
Air-Dried and Responsibly Sourced
All of our oak is air-dried naturally, allowing the timber to season at its own pace. This is the traditional method for substantial pieces like fireplace surrounds and produces timber with genuine, honest character. As a natural result of air-drying, the timber may display shakes (fine cracks along the grain) and surface splits — these are not defects, they are inherent characteristics of solid air-dried oak and part of what gives each surround its authenticity. Once installed, the timber will continue to slowly acclimatise to its environment, and minor further movement is entirely normal for natural wood of this scale. The timber is sourced from sustainably managed forests certified by the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), ensuring it is harvested in a way that protects woodland ecosystems and ensures forests are replenished for future generations.
What to Expect from Natural Oak
Oak is a natural material, and no two pieces are identical. The character of your surround will be shaped by the individual tree it came from — and that's what makes it special.
Colour and tone: Oak ranges from pale gold to warm honey, with occasional deeper tones depending on the part of the tree and how it's been finished. Over time, oak mellows and deepens in colour, developing a richer patina with age and light exposure.
Grain and figuring: Oak has a pronounced open grain with a natural variation in pattern. You may notice subtle silver-grey ray markings running across the grain — this is a characteristic unique to oak and a sign of quality, not a defect.
Knots and natural features: Small, tight knots are a natural part of solid timber and contribute to each surround's individual character. Larger or open knots are assessed during production and only retained where they don't affect the structural integrity of the piece.
We lightly finish our surrounds to enhance the natural grain and provide protection, while keeping the honest, tactile feel of real wood. Touch-up wax is available separately if you ever need to refresh the surface.
