Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Removing a fire place 4Dec 02, 2010 8:28 pm I have removed one, in my old place, about 4 years ago. It was a double-brick house, with floorboards. After removing the fireplace, I bricked up the cavity, rendered with mortar until approx 2-3mm under the wall surface. Then apply plaster, and sand, sand, sand. Use a long flat object with sand paper taped to it. This way the finished surface is smooth (no lumps & bumps). Seal the plaster, then paint. For the floor, the length of the my wall wasn't very long. So, I removed about four rows of floorboards, and put in new ones. Stained to match existing floorboard. I wouldn't say it's very hard, but it's not for the faint-hearted.
