Hi Mikef,
For whatever reasons, I can't attached images to this thread or send you a PM.
Update. Went to 3 different stove places in Galway city on Saturday.
First place said the only way to fit a stove in our fireplace was to remove the whole fire place so that the cast iron surround can be removed and replaced with granite surround. Then the fireback would need to be removed to fit the stove. All in all €1600. We swiftly thanked him for is time and left ... never to set foot inside the place again.
Second place, guy was very nice and knew his stuff. Said that the hood in the existing cast iron surround would need to be removed and a plate fitted. Gave us the option of removing the fireback or fitting a smaller stove and keeping fireback. All in all, €800 to €1000, supply and fit.
Last place also knew their stuff and have the exact same cast iron surround in their show room so knew exactly what is involved. Again the hood would need to be cut away and a steel plate fitted and then stove fitted to plate. 3 different stoves were offered all keeping the existing fireback and all in all, €790 - €840 supply and fitted.
I ended up fitting a henley kells, total costs €800, stove is set on the hearth out from fireplace, very happy with the look and the performance, delighted I did not go for the insert stove at that time, there are so many inserts for sale second hand it makes me wonder what good they are...
I also went with a Stove set on the hearth out from the fireplace. Works a treat
Hi eire1977, I am looking at putting in an insert stove and the quote I got is nearly 3k which seems mad and totally not in my budget.
