[@jayambermsp8000]

That looks brilliant!

[@christineanderson917]

We've done the same thing and are so pleased that we did. Enjoy your 🔥

[@steveclews6557]

Does it throw enough heat out ???

[@yorkknight]

maybe too much! needed a way of spreading heat throughout the house - tried a mini fan- not brill!

[@JennieEmare]

Hi, thanks for the upload. I can see you said it cost £2500. It looks super. This might sound silly but was this including the burner? I have been quoted £2600, including slate but no mention of beam, and that’s WITHOUT burner. Cheers Jennie.

[@yorkknight]

Hi , this was a few years ago- and I know prices have increased a lot since then. I did think it was a good price for everything back then (2021 ?)

[@JennieEmare]

Thank you for your response, just to clarify was £2500 including the log burner too? Cheers 😊

[@yorkknight]

@@JennieEmare Hi, yes everything included = log burner , flue liner , beam , slate hearth and fitting.

[@JennieEmare]

@@yorkknightthank you for the clarification 👍🏼 I will start enquiring locally, because I would rather new than secondhand burner. 😊

[@yorkknight]

@@JennieEmare definitely new- and steer clear of cheap Chinese ones!

Good job! 👍

Amazing work, I wanted to know if This was a mason chimney or a wood Chimney

[@yorkknight]

Hi , masonary. The wood beam is just cosmetic

[@paulsmith-td6ef]

What was the big block of concrete they removed under the lintel

[@yorkknight]

Hi- its a piece they build into newer houses when fitting gas fire / a flue support?

[@martincropper8675]

What did you line the opening with on the inside to make sure its heat resistant?

[@yorkknight]

Hi at 14minutes in- you can see the boards being cut to size- I think it's called vermiculite? Special board that heats resistant- thanks Yorky

looks amazinng!! how much did this cost?

[@yorkknight]

Approx £2500 - all fitted and finished etc - we wanted a larger oak beam and a single piece slate hearth- both extra. £2000 without extras . Focus fireplaces in York - thanks to them

[@Jimbo878]

What did you replace the old concrete lintel with?

[@yorkknight]

Left it in place- removed everything upto the level of the lintel.

[@Jimbo878]

@@yorkknight ah!, couldn't see on the video, the builders opening looks about the size I'm going for (so there's more flue pipe) but mine is a lot smaller. Thanks for the reply, looks like you have done a sterling job there 👍🏻.

How long did this take until you could use as a fireplace?

[@yorkknight]

Hi, next day. Just wait for plastering to dry out.

[@davidhirst1007]

Diď they cap off the gas supply from the fire before they ripped it out,or did you have thàt done before they came in? Im looking at having one put in,and what kw is the stove,name and model would be good to know as im researching

[@yorkknight]

Hi David, yes they did all the work required- incl capping off the gas. The only thing we had to do , was decorate afterwards. The stove is an Aspect 4 I think- approx 5kw. Gets really warm in the room. Ive since bought a heat generated fan to try to spread the warmth more.

[@davidhirst1007]

@@yorkknight thanks for the reply, i had a run to a store in hudds today and one that i liked was £4000 fitted,id like one that will take a few logs at once as some that i have seen online are only small chambers and can only take one log. S i may have a run to york and heck em out or ring em

@@yorkknight Fantastic Job from start to finish. How much to supply and fit the stove and rip the old open fire out?

[@yorkknight]

@@MP-po6fj The fire company charged £2400 , incl fitting etc. Then we just had to redecorate - £100 ? Thanks Yorky

[@MJ-yl8ys]

Doesn't look like a professional job at all. Not bad for a do it yourself but even then, could have done a cleaner job.

[@yorkknight]

It was a great job - don't know why you think it wasn't professional- they cleaned up after aswell.
