limestone fireplace fitting(essex)?

i recently bought a limestone fireplace, believing it would be one piece on delivery. it wasn't and now im being advised to have it professionally fitted. im in essex, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced fitter within the m25, with a good reputation, as they want 200-300 pounds and i just cant afford that. failing this can anyone advise a good diy book so that i can attempt it myself. really appreciate any help with this guys , cheers

  1. if you follow the instructions with it it really easy to fit but if you dont have get to your library and read some stone mason books and tips.
  2. I bought a fireplace from Stylecharm in Basildon and that came in about 9 pieces.plus the actual fire.They had a man who subcontracts to them to fit it for me. He did a good job. It cost £250for fitting .I think the fitter came from Stanford_le_Hope.
