Hi all, we recently purchased this weatherboard, 50yo house with this outdated gas fireplace and wooden surroundings. The worst part is the tile s are about 2-3cm above the floorboard. Underneath this tiles, half is timber, and the part closer to the wall is (I think) brick. I have so many question and I don't even know where to start, can anyone put in any thoughts in my following questions?
1. I have a Braemer ducted cooling and heating system installed, should I replace this old gas heater to new heater? Or just remove it and purely rely on the ducted heating system?
2.what is the most cost efficient option to remove the tiles and what to do with the area with ripped out tiles?
3. My friends suggested that I should let someone come in to give some professional advice. If I'm willing to do this, who should I look for? If interior designer will have the specific knowledge/experience in fireplace renovation ( say gas fitting, different types of options etc)
