Start with its story.
An old note. A detail you remember. A question that has been waiting. There is room for all of it in a first conversation.
THE HEARTH WORKSHOP

Every hearth has a history. Start with the details you know, the questions you have, and a little room for a conversation.

WHAT A VISIT STARTS WITH
Before a visit,
a conversation.
Your words are enough.
You do not need to know every name or have every record. A clear description of what you want to discuss is a useful beginning.
APPLIANCE EXPLORER
Familiar forms.
Different stories.
A stove, a fireplace, a chimney. Choose a starting point and look at it from another angle.
IN FOCUS
The stove
Cast iron. A framed door. The familiar shape at the centre of a room. A place to begin with what you know.

questions.
Choose the reason for your conversation. The outline brings your starting point into focus.
CONVERSATION OUTLINE
The stove / A routine conversation
A starting point,
in your own words.
A conversation about the stove can start with its place in your home and the records you already have.
- What do you already know about this stove?
- Are there past visit notes you would like to mention?
- What would you like a future conversation to cover?
A conversation outline. No assessment or visit is arranged.
WHAT TO BRING TO THE CONVERSATION
A little context.
A place to start.
There is no need for a perfect account. Begin with the information already to hand.
What you already know
The details and history you have to hand can give the conversation context.
Any existing notes
Previous records, if you have them, may be something you want to discuss. Nothing is uploaded here.
The question on your mind
A simple sentence can hold the thing you want to understand. Your local note gives it a place.
THE WORKSHOP PERSPECTIVE
A different angle.
A fuller picture.
A different point of view
See the whole picture.
The stove, the surround, the line above the roof. Each has a place in a bigger story. These original studies offer a different angle on familiar forms.
Leave room for a conversation.
A real professional would discuss their scope and next steps directly with you. This concept helps collect your thoughts; it does not assess the appliance or arrange a visit.
LOCAL VISIT NOTE
Put the question
on paper.
A title, a starting point, and the things you would like to discuss. Your chosen conversation outline comes with you.
This is a fictional local demo. Nothing is sent, stored, assessed or booked.
QUESTIONS
A little more
context.
Is HEARTH CHECK an operating service?
No. This is a fictional maintenance concept. There is no real business address, appointment, emergency service or booking on this page.
What do the models show?
Original illustrative stove, fireplace and chimney assemblies. They are visual studies, not construction drawings, product specifications or operating instructions.
What is the conversation outline for?
It gathers three authored questions for your chosen appliance and topic. It offers no diagnosis, safety assessment, maintenance procedure or recommendation.
Where does my note go?
Nowhere. It stays in this page while it is open. Nothing is sent or stored, and a refresh clears the local note.
Can I change my starting point?
Yes. Choose another appliance or topic in the explorer, planner or form. The outline changes with your choice. Reset returns to the first configured choices and clears your words.
