Solid Fuel Stove

Hi,

Just joined after browsing for quite a while!

We've jsu moved into a new house and would like to have a solid fuel stove installed.

After opening up the fireplace, which was previously boarded up I think I may have a problem.

Somebody has but a 3mm sheet of steel across the chimney opening. Would it be possible to cut a circular hole for the flue or would it need removed and fireproof board installed?

Thanks,

Nick.

    it would need removing for the chimney to be swept and inspected before any thoughts of an open fire or stove
