Did you really clean up the brickwork from the prior picture to look like that in the end?

Sorry to go OT but how did you clean the soot of the bricks?

Thanks for the replies
Sounds like it's possible then provided the installer knows what he's doing?
Dimensions are 30.5cm deep and 153cm wide. In that 30.5cm depth there is obviously 2x4 battons etc.
Alternative is to put burner in the corner of the room but that probably look odd with the fireplace in the centre of the same wall?
Not keen on getting rid of the box completely as wife not keen on pipes on show in middle of room but OK if they are in corner.
Clocks ticking as I know the installers are getting busy. Tempted to go with the installer who said OK to box section but watch the clearances like a hawk. Not sure how I feel about the clearances being bang on the minimums either, no margin..
Mike....you don't have to have a pipe up the inside of the room or indeed in any decorative fire place... You can go horizontal/angled out to the exterior wall and up.... Not sure of your exterior... In one of our rooms we have this set upSounds like it's possible then provided the installer knows what he's doing?

Any experiences of contura 810? Fitter recommending it. I torn between a MF and a wood burner. Doubt I'll burn coal but nice to have the option ?
Never heard of them but a quick Google would show they're not British and not to sound snobbish but my stove shop said to always buy British and you'll get a much better quality stove and life time guarantee.
