Hi all,
I'm looking for advice on how to rebuild a constructional hearth.
Renovating a 1900s terraced house. The constructional hearth in the living room had collapsed and spilled under the joists in the suspended timber floor. The previous owners has covered over this collapse with a marble superimposed hearth, however seen as we are replacing the floor joists, I'd like to use this opportunity to replace the hearth, lay tiles at floor level (and eventually get a working period fire surround installed).
I've started to clear out the subsided hearth, but information online about how to rebuild it is limited. Any advice/guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
