Hi benny, thanks for the reply. just want the opening to look neat and straight like the one in this picture. The actual inside of the fireplace is going to be tiled so not worried about that. Cheers

Hi everyone. Had the whole room plastered but plasterer didn’t bother with making the fireplace reveal tidy as he was out of beads and this was in the height of lockdown with no where open so I said not to worry as we are getting a new fireplace fitted. Situation has changed and we’re no...
