I think there's one in Trumper Way Hanwell just reading back through the tread some one else has come up with the same. I did google Salvage Reclamation once, you could try it fro your area

I used to supply gas parts for open fireplaces.
I had a bespoke marble hearth made for ours by
a fireplace shop in Weybridge. This shop has gone now
but there is one on Northfields Ave. They should have something.
As the other poster stated, the yard in W7 is good, got an exact match
for wooded blocks missing in our floor.

Is it safe to put oak at the bottom as thats combustable?

Not ideal, that's why tile, marble, slate, stone etc are used in front and around fireplaces.

We dont use it to light fires. Just want to smarten it up.
