Hi guys
New to the forum. I’m going to be installing a wood burner. The hole was already there but the previous owners had filled in the gap. I’ve knocked it out to reveal what’s in the pictures. I’m looking for information on what you guys would do. I will be installing a lintel and doing the work myself. I’ll be getting a qualified person in to fit the flue and all those bits. One side of the wall (the one with the gap behind) I can straighten that but the other side will it be ok to knock out the bricks and fit with a lintel?
