Hello,

I'm moving into my house next week and one of the first things I want to do is remove the existing gas fire and surround (see image below) and put in a gas or electric stove (a proper wood burner wouldn't work with the existing flue from what I've been told). As you can see, the chimney breast is quite shallow so I expect it will need to be made deeper in order for this to work. I confess I have no DIY expertise whatsoever so I just want to know whether this idea is (1) feasible, and (2) going to cost a fortune to do?

Any advice at all would be really appreciated. I'll try to get more photos / measurements when I get the keys next week - just interested to know whether it could work!

Thanks so much!

(Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place!)
