Hello I am new to DIYnot. This week I had an old baxi bermuda taken out leaving a gaping old in the chimney breast. A new combi was then put into the kitchen. It was a big job and took 2 days.
Rather than just bricking the front of the hole up I am thinking of making a small cove using cement boards to put orniments in.
I have noticed that the metal flue has just been left and is just dangling and I can hear the pigeons! There is also some fibre glass round the outside of the flue. Can I just leave this in situ? Is it also a good idea to put an airbrick into the chimney breast?
