A working hearth needs the right tools close at hand, and our fireside range covers the everyday jobs from lighting to tidying up the ash. A good companion set keeps your poker, brush, tongs and shovel together on a single stand, so nothing goes missing when the fire is roaring. Pair it with a sturdy log basket or hod and you have a simple way to carry fuel from the store to the grate without trailing bark across the floor.
Choosing pieces for your hearth
We make our log baskets, buckets and hods in materials such as woven wicker, galvanised steel and forged iron, chosen because they cope well with logs, coal and the odd knock. A fire screen guards against sparks when the flames settle, which matters if you have children or pets sharing the room. Think about the scale of your fireplace first: a large inglenook suits a deep basket and a taller companion set, while a compact stove works better with a slim hod and a low guard. Muted blacks and warm metal tones sit happily against brick, stone and painted surrounds.
Look after these pieces and they will serve you for many winters. Wipe metal down with a dry cloth to keep rust at bay, and empty wicker baskets of loose debris now and then. A little oil on iron handles keeps them turning smoothly. With a small amount of care, your fireside accessories stay ready for the next fire.
