    Hello im thinking of building a drystone fireplace in my living room in the coming weeks and want to know what type of stone is available and whats best to use or stay away from.

    Itll be 2.2mx2.6m high and will be hanging the tv on the centre.

    I worked in construction most my life so going to build it myself but want to know what sort of money should i be paying for the stone, how much cement will i need etc...

    If anyone has any pics of stone fireplaces could you please post them here so i can get a look at them so i can follow the design etc...

    It's not going to be a drystone wall if it's got cement ....
    I hope you know what yr doing if yr building an arch ....
    Lots of crowds sell pallets of stone, ring around for quotes , probably going to be personal preference really ...

    Forgot to add that im looking a dry stone effect ay front but im going to need cement ay the back of it to hold it together. You cant just build a stone .fireplace without cment. Yeah ive a fair idea on what to do for an arch. Will ring round during the week but thought id get an idea of price of stone on here
