The electric fireplace market today is largely dominated by wholesale and OEM products – many models using identical water-vapour or LED flame technology are sold under a rotating cast of brand names, without any manufacturer disclosing where they’re actually made. Only a handful of manufacturers still build their own products in-house.
On this page, we introduce the UK’s oldest specialist electric fire manufacturer, which still designs and assembles its fires in-house at its own factory in Staffordshire.
The UK’s oldest specialist electric fire manufacturer, still designing and assembling in-house in Staffordshire.
Good to know: Many electric fires are marketed as “British made” or carry a Union Jack somewhere on the packaging, but that’s not the same as a manufacturer actually operating its own production site. A credible origin claim means a brand names a concrete factory and design/assembly process, ideally confirmed by more than one source – as is the case with the manufacturer featured here.
Good to know: Not every “British made” electric fire comes from real in-house production – look for a named factory and an independently confirmed manufacturing claim.

Flamerite Fires
🇬🇧 UK manufacturer
Flamerite Fires is the UK’s oldest specialist independent electric fire manufacturer, based in the historic city of Lichfield, Staffordshire. The company was established in 1999, continuing a family tradition of British electric fire manufacturing that goes back more than 50 years, and is now run by the third generation. According to Flamerite, design, development and assembly of its UK products are all carried out in-house at its own site — a claim also confirmed independently by a third-party retailer profile, rather than resting on Flamerite’s marketing alone. Flamerite’s fires are known for their patented glowing log technology and are certified to ETL-UKCA-CE standards. The company doesn’t sell directly online — its own site runs a “find your local supplier” enquiry form and points buyers to a network of independent UK retailers, with several of its ranges also listed on Amazon UK.
Flamerite Fires, the UK’s oldest specialist electric fire manufacturer, has designed and assembled its fires in-house at its own factory in Lichfield, Staffordshire, since 1999 — confirmed by an independent source too. No direct online shop; sold through UK retailers and Amazon UK.
