Here we have a large cast iron stove from ACR, needed to heat a very large room. The customer went for a multi fuel so they would have the option of burning either wood or smoke less coal. There was an old wooden fireplace surround which was too small to accommodate the appliance. We removed this & opened the fireplace up to the original opening size. The inside of the fireplace is finished in a lime render, whilst the chimney breast is finished in plaster to match the surrounding walls. Luckily there was an existing brick hearth which looked great.
