Hey everyone. Never really posted on forums but have read some good stuff here so figure you’re the best people to ask.
Me and missus have just bought our first house and she’s kindly agreed to let me remove the electric fire that was in one of the rooms and take a hammer and chisel to the chimney breast
I was hoping to open it up to put in a stove of some kind and I’ve stripped it back enough to uncover a lovely sandstone lintel. I want to remove all the filler bricks but I’m a bit concerned about the size of the end bearings. If you look at the photos they look to be about 80mm ish.
As my lovely wife has been so kind to let me make a mess I’d prefer to not have the house fall down around us in return, so can anyone advise if they’ve seen anything like this before and if removing the filler under the lintel should be ok? I figured there should really be about 150mm bearing
Thanks very much
