Small fireplace conversion

Thanks for the pics, it looks great (and like a LOT of work!);

I checked and Cement Away is OK to work on slate so will be looking out for it this weekend (15% off at B&Q!).

Good luck with the renovation.

Thank you Steve, Good luck with yours as well fella , thats one hell of a big fire place you have there.

Have you got any plans for it? We have decided to keep our inglenook as an open fire as it's in the dining room and just light it on special occasions, they do take some messing with though to get them to actually work.

Edit - a stiff tooth brush works well with cement away but remember to wear eye protection and gloves. Play around with the dilution to get something strong enough to do the job but not strong enough to do any damage.
