Hi, I wonder if anyone can help, I am waiting for a corgi fitter to arrive later in the week for the installation but wanted to ask a couple of questions in the meantime.
I have removed an old outset gas fire (precast flue venting from the roof apex - no chimney breast), the new inset fire has it's own firebox, now for the questions :-
1) can I remove the existing clay firebox (which is slightly too small to accomodate the new fire) as long as the masonry & brickwork is sound?
2) would I be better to leave the current firebox in situ & purchase a narrower inset fire?
(ps depth is ok)
The installtion manual does not refer to any existing firebox but only gives dimensions for the opening.
thanks for any pointers
Mark
