    Opening up a fireplace from gas fire to wood stove, old stone house - Builders opening

In all honesty, it seems to be the thing to do, it was stated it would be done aby a fitting company that came out to scope for the stove installation and general advice seems to be...

    Yes, hence the concern.

    Photos provided. There is no external chimney breast and there is also a two storey extension so the pics are of the identical other side.
