EmberCraft in Herne Bay

Victorian seafront to Beltinge semis.

Herne Bay grew up as a Victorian seaside resort, and it shows in the housing: handsome terraces with original chimney breasts near the front, the 1930s semis climbing toward Beltinge and Reculver, and plenty of modern homes besides. Whatever the property, we match the right fire and flue solution to it, from reopening a period chimney to fitting a balanced-flue gas fire where there's no chimney at all.

Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves are a favourite in the town's older homes. We line the chimney or fit a twin-wall flue, build the hearth and handle the HETAS certification from start to finish. For renovated and open-plan living rooms, media walls and living-flame gas fires make a real statement, with concealed cabling and a tailored niche built around your room.

We've worked this stretch of the North Kent coast for 30 years, so we know its housing and its quirks. Gas Safe registered, fully insured, and only a short run along the coast from our Deal base.

Good to Know

Your questions, answered.

Do you install wood burners in Herne Bay's Victorian terraces?
Yes, regularly. We assess and line the existing chimney (or fit a twin-wall flue), build the hearth and certify the work to HETAS standards, keeping everything sympathetic to a period home.
I've no chimney in my Beltinge home. Can I still have a real-flame fire?
Absolutely. Flueless and balanced-flue gas fires are designed for homes without a chimney, and a media wall with a built-in fire is another popular option. We'll survey the room and advise.
