Hi
I'd like to remove this fireplace and replace in the next year or so and replace with a wood burning stove connected to the heating system. It has an electric fire in at the moment the previous owner installed but I can pull it out to a traditional fireplace behind but we've never lit it ourselves, the electric fire is just sitting in the opening.
The fireplace seems to be really good quality and real solid not sure if its real marble or polished stone or something, we've no idea how to remove it or should we get professionals? I was thinking to knock off the plaster along the wall next to it to try and free it up but I'm sure it's probably held on with an adhesive as well?
Apologies the picture isn't the greatest I've got a 3 year old currently eating breakfast next to it lol just decided to post as I was looking up at it.
Would like to block it up and plaster behind it possibly tiles and maybe a media wall or something to give us an extra bit of space just to give you an idea what we'd like to achieve.
Thanks for your input.
