Opening up a bricked up fireplace?
Hi, I was wondering about the logistics of opening up a bricked up fireplace. This will purely be decorative so the chimney won't need to be opened, just the fireplace itself so that an antique surround can be inserted. - I was wondering if this is likely to need any sort of planning approval? - How long it would usually take to open up a fireplace? - Rough ballpark of how much it should cost? Many thanks

Current wall has facing bricks all blown through frost and are saturated black colour. What are the key differences please? Any advice welcome. Thanks

Time and cost to build a brick feature fireplace
We live in a new build home and want to create a brick feature fireplace in the lounge to give it some character. How long would this take to build and how much should we look to pay. It will house an electric stove eventually, so it only needs to go from the floor to ceiling.
