Does anybody out there have any idea if there will be a larger opening behind this fireplace - think it is called a builders opening? It’s a 1950’s house. I believe the fireplace was ‘modernised’ in the 70’s when the front decorative facade was added. I’d like to open it up and put a proper fireplace in and then use the open fire. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Has anybody bought any of this recently or know if you can buy direct? I need to cover about 400 square meters? Any help appreciated!

Thank you for the reply tonyshouse. I've already filled the founds to 450mm below ground. Do you know whether I can overfill the foundation to bring it up and whether this could cause an issue with integrity / building regs? It does otherwise seem like a good solution.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the reply. I'm in the north east. I'm able to source and have prices for everything to get me to the roof being tiled other than the foundation blocks.

Hello, New to the site and to building but just poured some concrete founds. Foundation blocks seem hard to get hold of at the moment. Is anybody else having this problem at the moment. Has anybody worked out the best and most cost effective alternative?
