Hi all,
I have a 200yo house and have had to strip the dining room walls back to the bare stone and finish with a waterproof render and tanking system due to higher ground level outside
Anyway the same room had an open chimney blocked up (which probably helped to cause a lot of the damp!) and we would like to re-instate an open coal fire
The problem I face is that we have lined all the walls with timber studwork
Has anyone got any advice as to how to install the fire to work safely and not have problems with the surrounding timber work?
