Sorry I don't think the bricks look very nice.
My 2p would be to clean it, then paint with high temp black paint for a clean, even look.

@hugo7 cheers. Cleaned it with a wire brush and random shit like oven cleaner but without much success in getting a fully clean brick. Lots of the soot came out though which I guess would be good to enable it being painted on.
Once the log burner is in its kind of in permanently - how confident would you be in a paint that doesn't flake next to this much heat?
Thinking either paint the bricks or kind of plaster concrete scree (as in this brochure pic) the back and sides. Or pursue fully cleaning the bricks (which is proving impossible).
Edit - I actually think that picture is some kind of fireproof board

@dbr @mespilus cheers for the suggestions both. Could try the blowtorch - I don't have one but will try and borrow one or mention it to the guy who ends up fitting the log burner :)
