Want to get a new hearth for a new fireplace I am installing on a budget.
I got the wooden surround for £20 and I can get an electric fire fairly cheaply, but I am struggling getting a hearth.
Unlikely to get it the right size 2nd hand and the cut to size ones are all £300 and in granite.
Any ideas how I might get one cheaper? Is it practical to cut with a basic circular saw to size? I’ve never cut stone before. I’ve only seen it done with a petrol saw, and then I don’t know how good the edges will look.
if anyone has a solution or perhaps a place which might do it cheaper....all ears. I thought a slab of limestone or marble wouldn’t be that difficult or expensive being honest!
cheers
