Just after some advice. I have removed the old back boiler from the fireplace in my house (see pic).
The fireplace has been opened out to the bricks holding up the lintel, and all the debris removed. The base of the fireplace drops below the floor level by approximately 1-2 inches and jutting out in to the floor is a concrete hearth (~15" X 48"). I will level off, with concrete, the bottom of the fireplace to the level of the hearth with the intention of putting a slate hearth on top.
Does anyone know what the requirements are if I want to have a multifuel stove installed at a later date?
Also what is best to put on the bricks in the fireplace? I've had both Supalux and Vermiculite suggested.
Thanks in advance.
