Our Lounge currently has an ugly Thorn Housewarmer fire (with backboiler) set against stonework running the width of the room.
I want to remove the fire & stonework and put in new gas fire (coal/wood burn effect) with surround prior to moving.
A gas fire supplier has told us that we cannot simply replace a Thorn fire and will need to rip out and replace the whole boiler, at great cost!
Is this correct? It seems a bit excessive and the boiler is working fine at present.
If I do have to replace everything how much is it likely to cost?
