removing old gas fire

[timbalcombe]

Just had supply capped off to old fire.
Would like to remove the thing and chuck in a skip.
How are they normally attatched?
Do I have to remove the vent and fire brick thingys at the front to get at some screws?
Any advice appreciated thanks

Make and model will help

ok, thought it might be a generic type thing.

It is a radiation gas fire (old man) looks like type 7B (?)

If old radiation with metal front and wood case... Should be 2 screws eitherside in the louvres take metal bit off then 4 screws to take wood case off then you will see where it is screwed to wall. Newer versions had 4 screws holding front on and it came off in a oner

I'll post back 2morrow.

Cheers

Pulled the metal part down to reveal two fixing screws at the back.
