The reinforced‑concrete fire surround is being completely overhauled, with every part of the concrete structure inspected and repaired where necessary. As part of the refurbishment, the original quarry‑tiled hearth is carefully restored to match its historic appearance and function once again.

Light My Fire is a programme presented as an episode within its series. It falls under the genre of an episode‑type broadcast, offering viewers a focused look at a particular subject. The format is that of a single instalment rather than a longer series, and it is positioned as a stand‑alone piece within the broader catalogue of programming. The central focus of the episode is the refurbishment of a fire surround that was originally built from reinforced concrete. In this segment, the concrete surround receives a comprehensive overhaul, and the work includes reinstating the hearth that was originally laid with quarry‑tiled material. The restoration aims to bring back the hearth’s initial appearance by re‑installing the same type of tiles that were used at the outset. Further details highlight that the overhaul does not merely involve cosmetic changes; it addresses both the structural integrity of the reinforced concrete surround and the authenticity of the hearth’s surface. By restoring the original quarry‑tiled hearth, the episode showcases a method of returning a fire feature to its historic look while ensuring the surrounding concrete remains sound. The restoration process, as presented, underscores a careful balance between preserving original design elements and updating the surrounding structure for continued use.
