Hi all
In process of removing gas fire, and opening up fireplace to have a woodburner down the line. Pulled it all out, and a bit surprised to find no lintel! All I can see is a very small metal bar spanning brickwork, and also the mantel piece goes back about 3 inches into the brickwork, could this be structural?
Considering installing a lintel for piece of mind, anyone done similar? Span is 1.1m
Cheers
