INTERIORS Fiveways FIRES & STOVES Established by the husband-and-wife team behind Kent-based fireplace fitting company, Maginlees, it seems new shop, Fiveways Fires & Stoves, was always destined for success. Opened in November 2013, Lee and Sharon Humm took over the lease of an old fancy dress shop on Sidcup road, and after much hard work, Fiveways Fires & Stoves was born. More of a prized showroom than a shop, this retail venture boasts impressive product displays that include fire accessories, live wood burners, beautiful mirrors, gas and electric fires, stoves, multi-fuel stoves, beams, made-to-measure hearths, and much, much more. However, although this flourishing familyrun business may be a new project, this duo maintain decades of experience to lend to the trade. Lee first got into the fireplace installing business by fluke, after having had a fireplace fitted in the family home. After labouring for the installer, Lee eventually became Gas Safe registered and in 1998, along with Sharon, set up a reputable fitting business. This company is Maginlees (www.maginlees.co.uk), a fitting company that specialises in fireplace and stove installation across London and the South East. Having built up a repertoire of clientele, including many well-respected building 117 contractors, property developers and celebrities, the couple were finding they frequently asked as to whether they offer a supply and fit service. Realising many customers prefer the entire job to be completed by one person or company, Lee and Sharon decided to (literally) set up shop on the retail side – hence Fiveways Fires & Stoves. Gas Safe registered and a Hetas-registered installer, Fiveways Fires & Stoves prides itself on its friendly and helpful team, while upholding a high level of customer satisfaction. Competitively priced, all clients are offered a full service, from an initial free site survey, through to installation – often with a supply and fit deal. Fiveways Fires & Stoves is open MondaySaturday, 10am-6pm. Fiveways Fires & Stoves 743/745 Sidcup Road New Eltham SE9 3SA 0208 127 4747
