Removal of gas fireplace

padyjoe · 2017-10-26 17:49:08

We have a faux, flueless fireplace in our sitting room. We don't really use it, if it was a real stove it'd be different. Thinking about removing it and straighten the protruding wall section out as well. This way at least we could have a bigger space and nicer layout to the room. I wonder, would you have any idea how much…

Remove the fireplace, blank the gas pipe off, push the plasterboard back by 75cm and paint the new section.

If there's a gas pipe there, you will need an RGI to disconnect and move/blank the gas pipework. Depending on where the piper is, exact 80-100 for the RGI. As for the rest, you'd most likely be speaking with a builder.
