Yes I’ve done 2. 1 in my old flat and 1 in living room of my current house. Going to do a matching one in the dining room soon when we knock the rooms together. All 3 are all in 1 cast iron so none of the hassle of rebuilding marble surrounds etc.
The one in my flat was real easy as the existing hole was ample for the firebox. Cut back the plaster to the brick. Bolted the fireplace to the wall. Replastered.
The one in my house was slightly more involved as the hole had been bricked up. So we had to knock all that out which is dirty work but not difficult. By luck rather than judgement the fireplace I had fitted the hole perfectly so no need to mess with the lintel etc.
