Hi
I wonder if someone can help?
I am looking to renew my gas fire with a gas log burner and have discovered this steel angled lintel? Above the steel inside the fireplace is a concrete block up to the existing arched bricks. Can I take this out as it doesn’t seem to be supporting the brick work above I think it’s just been installed to reduce the opening size of the fireplace?!?
Any advice about the removal of this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Jim
