I have a stone fire surround, marble back panel and hearth to install on a plastered chimney breast. The surround and hearth are approx 5" wider than the breast so I would like to widen the sides of the chimney breast to the height of the surround.
Question:
The fireplace will be purely decorative so will building regs apply? I.e can I widen the breast with timber noggins with plastered plasterboard on top, or will it need to be non combustible e.g brick work, cement board etc. Cheers
