rgibson Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I am in the planning stage for a hearth. Intending to use slate but open to suggestions. Does anyone know where best to aquire slate or other and have it cut to size? Hearth will need to be 940mm Wide and 850mm Length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roachmill Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Rod Rob at Jewsons would be good to talk to. He fits all manner of stoves and the like. Slate ain't cheap in any great thickness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 +1 for Jewson's. I got some good advice there (but haven't got my finger out to put a stove in yet)Pinterest is a good place for DIY ideas https://www.pinterest.co.uk/search/pins/?rs=ac&len=2&q=hearth%20inspiration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clatefolk Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 50mm thick slate hearths at Jewsons are expensive but their 20 mm thick slate slabs are relatively cheap. I used two (60 x 90 mm) together together our to make up our 3 replacement hearths in our old house. Look just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgibson Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Jewsons was the go to place for slate. Picked up some 600 x 900mm 12mm tiles at £25 a pop. Fireplace and hearth look fantastic if I do say so myself. Rod was a great help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
