Hey,
Can I remove this modern breeze block?
It's located in the opening of a 1880's UK tenement fireplace.
I'm about to take the modern breeze block out this fireplace, but wanted to make sure it was correctly supported first. I can see what appears to be stone / bricks around the modern breeze block, and what appears to be a stone lintel going over the top. The breeze block just seems to be 'placed' in the opening and not actually touching the lintel.
Is this still sound?
I'm planning on opening up the fireplace, tiling the base and then white washing whatever is inside.
Thanks so much!
