  • Anyone on here fitted a victorian/edwardian fireplace, particularly just for aesthetics rather than to actually use? How easy was it? All the guides online seem to be fitting them for actual use rather than just the look.

  • Yes, last year.

    It had been blocked up and then had a huge MDF board over the front of it. We got a fireplace off Ebay, bashed the hole back into the wall (like @Trunkie we were lucky in that it was the same size hole as the previous) and pushed the fireplace into it, then attached a fire surround. Really easy job, the hardest part was moving the fireplace.

  • We got a motif of British Colonial Oppression and Shame off Ebay

  • @tbc you have done a great job there, well done. If my living room looks half that I’d be pleased also loving the cat. Looks like the one that hangs out in my garden, giving me evils like ‘I was here long before you arrived’, whenever I step out there.
