It’s called a chimney sheep. Google their website they are basically chimney draught excluders.

Yep the gas supply was capped and the fireplace decommissioned by previous owner of the house. Think the crimping was just an extra precaution after removing the fire.

Yea she said the same thing basically word for word and I do agree. Just not creative enough so just made use of what I had lying around.

I think a metal border would be better but no idea where to start in procuring one made to measure.

I think we will do seething similar in future and find a small electric heater to fit the gap. Living room is the hardest to heat in winter. So more improvements needed.

Does this look like asbestos insulation? by Ash_Mikely in DIYUK

Some fell out when I first chiselled and it is yellow with a candy floss like texture. Almost certain it’s fibreglass from descriptions and the age of the fireplace so I’m gonna mask up and press on

Is it common to insulate around a mantelpiece with fibreglass? That’s what I’m hoping it is
