Hi all,
I am currently renovating my house and have an old exposed brick fireplace with brick herth, which I would like to keep. I will be putting in a multi-fuel stove.
However a few of the bricks on the breast are old and very flaky or crumble when rubbed.
Does anyone know of a sealer that I can apply to the bricks to stop them doing this/protect them from further corrosion?
or would I be better off toothing out these few bricks and replacing them with newer close matching bricks or going the whole hog and just plastering the entire chimney breast.
Your advise please...................
