Hi All,
Ours is a semi detached property that originally had a real fireplace located on the common wall. The fire place is still there but unfortunately unusable because previous owner installed a Central heating back boiler inside the fireplace with the vent going up the chimeny.
We want to get rid of the back boiler for obvious reasons (ineffeciency, etc) and want to enjoy real fire place. Our attached neighbour still uses his real fire place(on other side of the wall) Therefore the chimeny, etc are all functional.
Question: Is it possible to remove the back boiler and use the fire place. What are the chances that they did something while installing the back boiler that would make it impossible for us to use the original fireplace?
Thanks
Andy
