Q: I am worried about measuring correctly

Martin is always delighted to come and visit, show samples and measure for club fender seats that are made in his workshop here in Peterborough. He travels to most areas of the UK. If you want to have a go at measuring yourself, either for a fender seat or for a low level fender, print off the measurement form and fill it in, we can talk you through it over the phone if you have any difficulties, plus any tricky bits such as gas pipes or air vents we suggest you take a photo, then email or post it all to us and we will draw it all up into a ground plan which you can then double check against your fireplace before we go ahead.

Q: What is a club fender seat?

It's a fireside seat that can sit on or surround the hearthstone, it protects logs or coals from rolling onto the floor and the top part is upholstered so that it can be sat on and used as a ‘bum warmer'. Here at Rockingham Fender Seats they are all made to measure to the customers individual requirements. The Club fender seat is also known as a fireside seat, fender bench, fender seat or bum warmer. We have photos of many examples of club fender seats on our website including some of the more unusual styles.
