• Our architect wants to remove the chimney breast in one of our bedrooms as part of his plan for our extension, but there's a cast iron fireplace in there that I'd like to keep. Is it mad to remove the breast, but re-install it against the wall? It's only there for aesthetics - not for fires! They must recess into the wall a bit, but would it be too much to make it work?

  • Yeah that’ll look weird.
    Removing chimney breasts does free up a lot of room though, kinda wish I’d done it but didn’t want to remove anything original.
