Hi
We are wanting to replace an ornate plaster effect fireplace with something a little more modern. It doesn't appear to be plaster but some sort of resin. I have had out my metal/stud detector and cannot locate any brackets down either side, so my guess is it is probably bonded to the wall. Ideally, I would like to remove in one piece if possible. My current plan is to buy a Bosch PMF-180e with the fairly long and flat cutting blade and try cutting around the fire surround between the surround and the wall to cut away the glue (both from the inside and outside edge of the surround). Could really do without spending £50 on a Bosch PMF180 so thought I would pick your brains for any ideas.
Thanks
