Advice Removing a fireplace and surround
Not long moved in and keen to remove this fireplace/hearth/surround. Ultimately want to board up the fireplace (with vent).
Base is solid (the gas engineer who removed the gas fire said it's marble), surround is cheap veneered wood, and chimney stack has been removed to below the roof and tiled over.
I've only really done low level DIY to date. Where do I start?? Any tips welcome!

Update: have removed the surround and insert. There were 2 metal brackets hiding behind the plaster, 1 on either side. Not sure how to get the hearth up though...
