What is my fire surround made of?
I have been stripping paint off of a fire surround in my bedroom that
I thought was hardwood. However having taken the paint back on part of the surround I have found out that it is not wood but some sort of stone or concrete. How would I go about finding out if it is sandstone, limestone or concrete etc.? I have never worked with stone before so not sure how to identify different types. I am not sure what to do from here. I would like to strip the paint back and reveal the stonework. Who would be the right tradesman to contact for this? A stonemason? Apologies if these questions seem very simplistic, but I suppose any question seems simplistic if you know the answer!!!! Thanks for your time |
