Has anyone any advise on fitting a fireplace,,
The surround is Ok, but fitting the hearth and the fireback etc??

Any links or advise would be great
Cheers

Would get the experts to do if I were you bertson - it's not as easy as it looks!

We bought one at an auction and fitted it ourselves - we had huge problems afterwards with the sealing and subsequently when the fire was lit, the room became smoky after a time and was no doubt full of carbon monoxide.

We've since had it replaced and fitted by a professional firm and it's working beautifully.

Another tip they gave us is to spray WD40 onto the cast iron suround - we did this at home on our 6 year-old surround and it looks like new again!
 
Thanks a lot:)

I have the benefit of a father in law who knows how to do it, but is taking ages to come and do it, so i can't really go and get someone else:)

But as least if i could make a start:)
