There is a small hole were the gas supply went into the void. I'll leave it at that for now until we sort everything proper. This was just a quick cheap job to tidy the front room up as it(was) an eye sore... Cheers Markc!

My mate is a roofer, the chimney is in a good state. But it isn't capped off, now you mention it i will get it capped off.

Hello and good afternoon from Wigan, I ripped my gas fire out last week, i got it properly capped of by a gas engineer on Monday.. I was left with a big hole in the wall, with a massive draft coming down the chimney. I was looking at stuffing some rockwool insulation up the chimney, of which i was going to ask. After reading various furoms etc, i decided against it as it may cause damp. I bricked it up this afternoon. Its a 1970s house with a wooden floor an airvents coming underneath. I will be getting it plastered and fitting an electrical fire just for aesthetics. Have i done the right thing here? Thanks Oppy
