If you are searching for fireplaces near Altrincham, the Heatwave showroom on Lythgoes Lane in Warrington is the closest place to see a proper working display. Altrincham has no dedicated fireplace showroom of its own, which means most customers either shop online without seeing anything lit, or make the short drive to us.

The journey from Altrincham to Osnath Works is typically around twenty minutes via the M56 or the A56. Parking is on site and the showroom is open every day of the week.

What You Can See at the Showroom

The showroom at Osnath Works has working displays across every fireplace category. Gas fires, electric fires, wood burning stoves, multifuel stoves, media wall fires and a broad selection of fireplace surrounds in marble, stone, cast iron and wood are all here to compare at the same time.

That matters more than it sounds. Seeing a gas fire running in a room, at the right heat output and with the correct surround around it, tells you far more about whether it will work in your home than any photograph can. We keep fires lit and running throughout opening hours.

Current display highlights:

• Gas inset fires and fire suites in contemporary and traditional styles
• Electric fires including widescreen media wall formats and freestanding stoves
• Wood burning stoves and multifuel stoves from Stovax, Gazco, Wildfire and others
• Marble fireplace surrounds, stone surrounds, cast iron combinations and wooden mantels
• Made to measure surrounds built at our factory on site

Fires and Stoves for Altrincham Homes

Altrincham has a wide variety of housing. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis dominate the older parts of town, with larger detached properties in Hale, Bowdon and Dunham Massey. More recent developments have brought apartment buildings and modern new builds to the Broadheath and Timperley areas.

Older properties with chimney breasts have the broadest range of options. A gas fire, wood burning stove or multifuel stove can work with a standard chimney. We always recommend a stove survey before installation to confirm flue condition and suitability.

Many Altrincham homes, particularly apartments and modern builds, have no chimney at all. Balanced flue gas fires are a strong choice in these situations, as they pass through the external wall without needing a flue. Electric fires and media wall fires require nothing beyond a power socket and work anywhere.

Altrincham falls within Trafford’s smoke control area. Any solid fuel appliance must be a DEFRA approved exempt appliance. All the stoves we supply meet this requirement and we will confirm the details when you visit.

Made to Measure Surrounds for Altrincham Properties

Period properties in Hale and Bowdon often have original fireplace openings that do not match standard surround sizes. Our Osnath Works factory designs and builds bespoke marble, stone and wooden surrounds to the exact measurements you need.

If you have an unusual chimney breast, a deep alcove or an opening that has been altered over the years, bring photos and measurements to the showroom. We can usually give you a clear view of options without a separate home visit.
