Expose chamber & install surround

ENQUIRY
The customer wanted to remove the existing surround and open up the chamber. They wanted the gas fire capped and removed and replaced with a wood burning stove and stone surround.

SURVEY
We popped over to take a look at the room, chimney aperture and access to the stack. We suggested - a 5kW stove would suit the room size, a chimney sweep would be needed and the access was fine. We issued a estimate detailing the costs involved.

After the estimate was accepted we booked the prep work and installation. The duration was two days with the preparation work on the first and install on the second.

PREP WORK
We removed the surround and excavated the chamber behind.
We removed the existing hearth and replaced with a front and back hearth of balck Italian honed slate.
We left the brick work bare as the customer was keen to do so.
We installed the surround and slate slips.
