Thank you

Would love to place a wood burner in there is possible. Thank you - much appreciated.

Yes… foolishly I was looking for an archway or lintel that I believed might be there. What you suggest is now my thinking… But still worried about what’s inside - if that is supporting anything etc… made a bit of a mess of it, but will sort it… Thank you.

Started quite low - 2-3 ft from the floor and worked up… the top of the broken plaster is roughly just under 5ft. I think it’s been taken out as well… just been wondering how now to proceed…. The bottom is really tough and does appear to have a modern fix - I probably need to get someone out...

Thank you

Thank you

Hoping to put a wood burner in place - but unsure what I should be taking out… looks a mess… Perhaps get a lintel in there before removing anything else?

Hi - currently breaking outafireplace in circa 1900 terraced house and feels like a bit of an opening disaster…. What you can see is where I have removed what wasn’t (or didn’t look like) original brick work under the plaster. I expected to find a lintel or archway, but all I’ve found is poor...

Attempting to break out an old chimney breast on an old terraced house (circa 1900) - expected to find a lintel or archway. Already gone quite high and worried about removing too much - anybody ever come across something like this? Looks like a slim channel opening inside with really ropey brick...
