    Hi,

    I want to use the open fire in my living room, however there is an old de-commissioned back boiler still in place, it has been drained also and the pipes cut.

    There is also a balloon in the chimney flu which will need to be removed.

    I am afraid to use the open fireplace at present with this old back boiler still in place even though it has been drained and de-commissioned.

    How much is it to get the back boiler removed ?

    I would be also be looking to replace the current fireplace with a brand new fireplace.

    A friend of mine mentioned JR Fireplaces in North Dublin are good to deal with.

    Any advice?

    Never light an empty back boiler. A hole will burn through and you’ll send CO up into the hotpress or attic or wherever the pipes are cut.
    If you’re getting a new fireplace then the company will probably do the lot, as they’d need to install a new fireback anyway.

    Thanks , oh I know, we have never used it.

    Ive done a deal today with a company and they will remove the old back boiler, they will do a CCTV check of the chimney flue and do any repairs necessary.

    I bought a new fireplace also, the original is from the 1930's.
