A spot of demolition!
So, a rare 24 hours without work, Omex in Bumper? New sump? Bit of welding on the 4x4?
Why no! How about starting some thing new? YES!
6.30 this evening...
(Lime stone fireplace for sale by the way!)
Barely 2 hours later with the help of Mr. Prisebar and his mate 14lb Mel we are here...
Q? What's the best stuff to get rid of the soot on the back there? I'm thinking odf plastering or maybe rendering it with stone or bricks
etc and don't want the soot to appear in few months time
Ta,
Steve

Woah nice work!
We've got some great stuff what we use to get the soot off the back of the stove doors - its a gel type stuff which you sort of spread on then
wipe off a bit later. I think its made by stovax the guys what made the stove?

would that work because the backs of stove doors are really smooth? like glass or enamel or whatever? don't think it would work well on brick.
what about a wire brush in the angry grinder (yessss, it'll be messy though) then plaster?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Wire brush off what's loose, then go over the rest with PVA/primer. Then plaster (should be mortar if you plan to put a fire in there).

How about a spot grit blaster? The type used by bodyshops to clean up stone chips etc. (has a vaccuum recovery for most of the grit).
They're about £20-30 and should clean up the bricks quite nicely.
If you want it doing faster, use a normal grit blaster and enclose as much of the area in polythene as possible (or you'll be cleaning sand up
for years to come!)

As long as your chimney is in good nick, yes. Otherwise a chimney liner is required.
The building reg requirements for the area around a stove are fairly clear-cut, e.g. you can't have any combustible material within a certain
distance, the hearth itself must be a certain thickness (depending on what's underneath), and so on.
Guess who had a wood-burner installed a couple of months ago...

Yes, but you must install a new liner in the chimney.
I got one fitted two year ago and it is absolutely brilliant; the heat from them is terrific.

Our fireplace was used for coal for 90 years before, why does it suddenly need a liner to burn wood ?

Wood gives off tar/creosote, which sinks into the brickwork. this can (a) soak through and stain your wallpaper in nice brown patches, and (b) catch
fire.
