Stephen and his team did a fantastic job restoring one of our fireplaces and removing another. Incredible to find one company that can bring together multiple trades and restoration expertise for such a niche job.

Hard to overdo the feedback for Stephen and his team that did our fireplaces. The guys from Chippendale all coped with our inevitable last-minute changes and shifting timelines and still did a truly special job on time. A job done properly, on time and on budget. Couldn't be happier!

We used Chippendale Restorations to install two fireplaces when we renovated our 1915 cottage in 2012. Everything is still in ship shape - Steve serviced my fireplaces last week which I should get many more years from before I have to replace any parts. They have the best fireplace selection and service we found and loads of additional products which keeps us going back.

Stephen helped with the design to incorporate our existing old tiles and hunted high and low to find the right size fittings for our non-standard old house. The Queen Anne marble mantle was dismantled, repaired and polished - we are thrilled with the result. The installation team were wonderful. The fireplace team at Chippendale Restorations are talented craftsmen, who take real pride in their work and their absolute commitment to customer satisfaction.

We recently renovated a beautiful Federation home in Orange. Very long and cold winters in Orange. Stephen and Ken did a gas conversion and an amazing restoration on one of the original coal burning fireplaces. Bloody brilliant! See for yourself.

Julie Long

I first had my fireplace restored and a new gas fire installed 14 years ago, but recently had a couple of problems with the fire not lighting. Steve went beyond the call of duty to cheerfully and quickly get it working again as good as new. And so the fire continues to keep my place warm and cosy working-from-home through the winter lockdown!

Nick Drosinos

Stephen and his team of trades are very professional and great to deal with right through from start to finish, we highly recommend them. We love our new gas fireplace.

Clare Battellino

I have turned to Chippendale for all the restoration needs for our old house in Glebe. Lights, tiles, hardware, joinery needs - the list goes on. One of our biggest projects was restoring the two downstairs fireplaces. Stephen and team did a fantastic job sorting out all the technical requirements and restoring the marble surrounds. We love our fires. I cannot recommend the service highly enough - both at the time of installation and any support needs afterwards.

Melissa Hamilton

I can't recommend Stephen and his team more highly, It was always going to be tricky to fit a any sort of fireplace/fire into our tiny little terrace but they took the challenge up enthusiastically and did a brilliant job. Stephen's depth of knowledge and patience was absolutely amazing. We very much appreciated it and we're thrilled with the outcome. Thank you!

Wendy Phillips

Excellent product and superb follow-up from an impressive professional and craftsman in Stephen Peters at Chippendale Restorations.

Mari Rydwen

I am very grateful that Stephen who had installed this fireplace 14 years ago went beyond the call of duty and fixed it for me when it stopped working recently. Kevin is happy too, see below!

Steve & Joseph, Michael & Tim were outstanding. The job is terrific, and we are thrilled with the chimney. We loved having the crew in our house – we will request them again when we do the upstairs restoration next year.

— Andrew Sprott, Cremorne

Maxine and I are delighted with the result. The installation team were excellent. Their performance was faultless. On time. Efficient. High standard of work. Pleasant, friendly and worked well as a happy team. Went out of their way to do the job as well as possible, and to our satisfaction. Tidy, cleaned up well at end of day. For future customers, I would recommend using this team even if they have trusted tradies of their own. Thank you, too, for your help and advice.

— Hugh & Maxine Martin, Epping
