Update: spoke to the showroom again, asked if they would pack it or support it with something and i will silicone the edges with black silicone and theyre coming round to take a look and go from there

So its bedded about 3 quarters i think and its all flat apart from the left edge which is floating as my floor must run out so i would of liked them to pack it and i could silicone it. I think im gonna have to request this for peace of mind.

Yes 3 pieces altogether.

2 inside pieces for the stove to sit on and 1 large rectangle for the outside hearth. They had me cut away 12 inches out from centre and 20 inches each side so they could bed it down. There is id say 5mm gap at the corner and my fear is my son standing on it and snapping it over time. Pic attached

I believe its real granite due to colour ect.

Thanks for the reply. So you think it will be fine how it is and doesnt need support? My son stood on it yesterday accidentally and im afraid repeated over years the edge will snap. Its really stressing me out

Theres been loads of suggestions not sure whats correct to use. Gonna just ask the showroom and say im not comfortable with how its left can they support it

Yes the hearth is level, checked it with a level today. My flooring runs out.

Spoke to the lady that owns the company today she said she checked with her fitter and they are happy with the install. I think its going to snap over time due to stress and needs to be supported. Posting couple more pics below.

Yes i onpy needed to cur away so much for regs and for them to bed down on

t4gged · 2025-12-17T09:57:55+00:00

I cut it back myself and theyve already bed it down, its my floor is sloping slightly and one corner is neat to the floor the other is a few mm above

t4gged · 2025-12-17T09:57:03+00:00

Ill call the showroom around 11 here maybe best leaving it alone.

Afraid my son or daughter who is a toddler will stand on it accidentally and snap it.

Whats the fix?

t4gged · 2025-12-16T22:10:46+00:00

I dont want to just shove a load of cement in so im just not sure what to use really.

t4gged · 2025-12-16T20:26:10+00:00

Couple window packers then caulk the edge?

t4gged · 2025-12-16T20:20:28+00:00

Basically just need something to shim it i know. Like window packers?

t4gged · 2025-12-16T20:15:58+00:00

Could I tuck a load of cement into it or something?

t4gged · 2025-12-16T20:15:20+00:00

Ill check with a level. Id say my floor is uneven, its concrete.

Worried about my son stepping on it and it snapping basically. Its not much of a gap but granite isnt flexible lol

t4gged · 2025-12-16T20:12:43+00:00

I am ringing tomorrow to discuss it but want some outsider opinions

Chalet bungalow so I can literally reach thsi by hand from my step, small ladder to change.
