“I saw the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Impero fire online but when I went to the showroom they didn't have one for me to see. After a few days I rang to order one unseen, the gentleman I spoke to was brilliant and gave me lot's of information. The fire is gorgeous and everyone that sees it loves it.”

Hi Danuta, Thanks for your review. It's great to hear that the showroom sales team was so helpful in terms of your order. Unfortunately, we offer such a large and diverse range of gas, electric and solid fuel appliances that we are unable to display every available model in each of our showrooms. We are sorry for any inconvenience or disappointment, but we do appreciate your kind words regarding the Pryzm Impero and the service received. If we can offer any further advice or assistance then please don't hesitate to let us know. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Lack of communication was an issue for me!!! It was several weeks after paying for my new fire that. It was fitted. The lady who sold me the fire was great, the man who fitted the fire couldn't have been nicer!!!! But not knowing when the fire would be delivered and then waiting for fitting was not great. Sorry!!!!!”

Hi Carolyn, Thanks very much for your order and for your review. It's good to hear that you found our Sales team to be so helpful, and that you were impressed with the fitting via Direct Heating Services. This being said, we are sorry for any confusion regarding delivery. As you will be aware, it took longer than anticipated for the electric inset fire to be received into stock from our supplier which is why there was a delay to the installation. We do always aim to keep customers as informed as we can, and can only apologise for any inconvenience on this particular occasion. If we can offer any further advice or assistance then please don't hesitate to let us know. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Fireplace took longer to deliver than I was told when purchasing it …. When it finally arrived by Palletline the delivery man had a terrible attitude and stood there and watched me struggle to drag the very heavy box up my path….. Once opened it was fine but the built in lighting was very tacky and cheap ..Thankfully it’s run by a separate plug to the fire itself so I’ve left that unplugged….. Once switched on the fire was quite noisy as one of the discs within that creates movement over an orange bulb was catching and clanking.. It has since stopped making the awful noise but now the orang bulb doesn’t seem to be working anymore so the bed of the fire is half orange and half yellow…. I haven’t complained as I can’t imagine how long it will take to replace it as the company don’t appear to have any sense of urgency with their customers orders so I have decided to just live with it”

Hi Caroline, Thank you for your review. We were sorry to hear of the issues experienced with your order. It does appear that the goods took longer than anticipated to arrive into our warehouse from the supplier, for which we can only apologise. Regarding the delivery itself, and as per the information on our website, the free one-man delivery service is curbside and drivers are only able to transport palletised goods as far as the closest safe access point to the doorstep of the property. We do appreciate your feedback regarding our delivery partner and we're sorry for any inconvenience. In terms of any outstanding problems, and should you require our assistance, we would urge you to email our customer service team via customerservice@direct-fireplaces.com. We would ask that you include your order number and any supporting images and/or video that you can provide. Our team will be happy to advise further. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Good customer service in store . However , had to chase up delivery after a month . Then when fireplace was delivered , the driver was annoyed that we couldn't help put the item in the house . During transport , fireplace was not placed in a box or protection of any kind! So there are massive scratches to the paintwork on the front now as a result”

Hi Sameeha, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of any issues. Looking at the details on the order, this was knowingly purchased as an ex-display media wall fire and so there should not have been the expectation that this would be received with the original packaging. Media wall units are constructed to encase the firebox and leave the trim and glass viewing area unobstructed to create a hole-in-wall fire effect. This being said, it's good to hear that you were pleased with the customer service received in-store and we are sorry for any inconvenience regarding the delivery. If there is anything else that we can do to assist then please do let us know, Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Great selection & prices and very accomodating when we changed our order. Their fitter (Tony) was excellent and completed installation of new fireplace & fire in one day, working through until 7.50pm to finish. Would use them again if we had another fireplace!”

“I can’t speak of the fire yet as have only received today so not installed However the delivery guys turned up on his own to deliver a 1800 fireplace weighing over 25kg. Luckily I had an electrician here who kindly helped him get it in the house. Had he not been here I would not have been able to help as have tennis elbow so can’t lift anything. I don’t expect to pay £2500 for a fire and have to provide labour to get it in the house. Also think that it is illegal for a single person to handle that weight”

Hi Jane, Thanks again for your order and for your review. The standard delivery option would be free one-man delivery. As per our website: "The drivers are contracted to deliver the item to your property and must use a pallet truck to lift/move the goods, which are normally quite heavy and can be up to 1mtr wide (occasionally larger). If they cannot operate the pallet truck safely due to gravel/stone drives, steps, or slopes as examples they will only be able to leave the item at the first available access point. They will try to assist as best they can but can only stay at each property for a limited period. They cannot bring the goods inside your house and will leave the goods with you on the delivery pallet." For future reference, we do offer a two-man delivery option which would have meant that the fire could be transported into the property by the couriers. We hope that this information helps and can only apologise for any inconvenience. If we can offer any other advice or assistance then please do let us know. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“We had a gas fueled log burner fitted at the end of February. Just one hiccup, there was a delay on fitting as the grate had been broken on delivery to Direct Fireplaces so we had to wait a couple of weeks for the replacement. Aside from that the fitters were very polite & tidy & the result is perfect. We would reccomend this company. Would have been 5 stars but for the unfortunate delay.”
