Hi everyone,
I'm looking to install a hole in the wall gas fire, it is an open fire, has no hearth and will be fully recessed into the wall.
As yet I've not cut out the hole for it to fit into, and, I'm assuming when I do I'll need to fit a lintel to support the blockwork above. Is there anyone who has experience in this type of job and are there any specific issues I need to bear in mind here.

Absolutely any opinions or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
