👍👍 We have been really happy with the Architectural Forum. We found a beautiful and unusual marble fireplace here, much better value than other shops we'd looked at, plus a cast iron insert and hearth, and had it all installed efficiently and painlessly at a very reasonable price.

    I bought 2 combination cast iron fireplaces from The Architectural Forum and was most impressed with the customer care from start to finish. Nadine provided me with very useful advice as I needed my chimney breast opened up and fireplaces re-instated and then once she knew what kind I was looking for, provided me with a bingo moment with both beautiful fireplaces and got me in touch with one of her trusted installers. It is very rare in London these days to have such exceptional care from a business. Well worth the visit for anyone considering going there.

    We have been really happy with the Architectural Forum. We found a beautiful and unusual marble fireplace here, much better value than other shops we'd looked at, plus a cast iron insert and hearth, and had it all installed efficiently and painlessly at a very reasonable price. Nadine in the shop was a pleasure to deal with and took great trouble in getting us what we needed. A very good experience and I highly recommend this place.

    We recently bought a fabulous reclaimed Victorian carrara marble surround and cast iron insert from The Architectural Forum. Nadine was incredibly helpful - nothing was too much trouble, and the rest of her staff were terrific too. And their recommended fitter (Mark) did an amazing job of installing the fireplace in our property. We can't recommend The Architectural Forum highly enough!

    Beautiful things sold by lovely people. I bought 9 beautiful refurbished cast iron radiators from Architectural Forum in 2020. They still look incredible and function much better than then modern imitations they replaced. I needed to change a bleed valve in one of them last week. Nadine found the valve for me, posted it to me and has refused to charge me for it. A great company.

    Jason and Nadine at The Architectural Forum have gone above and beyond for us in helping us find our perfect marble fireplace surround and Edwardian insert. I would recommend them highly in terms of the service they provided and ensuring we were fully satisfied as a customer. None of our requests were too much trouble and we couldn't be happier with our beautiful fireplace.

    Awful company and customer service, do not recommend. I purchased and paid for an item that was already sold. The purchase was cancelled without any direct contact or notification and I had missed out on another item elsewhere. However, I persevered in order to find another one similar, was promised a reduced price then was told she sold that one as well minutes later because she clearly changed her mind. It's still on the website. Absolute waste of time.

    I would highly recommend purchasing from The Architectural Forum. Nadine and Lauren were most helpful in their communication. I was delighted with the cast iron and brass fender. Fits perfectly and looks beautiful. The delivery price was reasonable for such a heavy item. It was dispatched on a Tuesday and arrived on my doorstep in Ireland 4 days later. Has to be five stars for you. Thank you, Susanne

    Absolutely excellent advice and service from Nadine and the team. We wanted a fireplace but didn't know exactly what and they talked us through all the options until we ended up with the perfect one for our home. We're thrilled with the final fireplace and couldn't have had a better experience - they made it so easy. Katie

    The Architectural Forum supplied us with a gorgeous reclaimed fireplace as part of our house refurbishment project last year and more recently also restored another original fireplace for us. Nadine and her team were an absolute pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful in turning things around for us within a very tight deadline. Their selection of fireplaces is fantastic and they offer a wealth of knowledge as to what will/won't work for your project. We would not hesitate to recommend them or use them for future projects.

    I have just purchased the most beautiful doors from Nadine. She was so very helpful and efficient. Nigel the deliver driver was brilliant too. Everything went very smoothly. I would not hesitate to purchase with this wonderful company again! Great service!
