Log burner recess plastering

Question

We have had our living room skimmed and we are getting a log burner installed. We have had the face of the wall with the recess skimmed and we were going to restore the pre-existing bricks, however the angle bead has been placed into the recess and is visible against the brick. Is there a way around this - we have been advised a return will be placed to box the metal in, but we’re worried as to how obvious this will be. Thanks!

I’d personally cut the angle bead which is showing or simply add a fire resistant trim to enclose the bead on show

Fatmir · Answer

Don't worry, it won't be too noticeable, and you can decorate it with something else.

There is. Remove the bead, chip back the plaster, put a stop bead in where the plaster needs to stop and re plaster over the bead. Pretty simple. Let me know if I can help.
