Hi, have a question regarding fireplace expansion in readiness for a log burner.
I've already removed plaster and replaced the old brick arch lintel with a concrete one but, as I was about to start taking a half brick out on either side, I'm concerned that the chimney throat is supported by the bricks I'm about to remove.
Am I safe to widen a builders opening by half a brick?
Once I've worked out how to add pics I will
