Thank you for you inquiry. The fireplace was in the house when the client bought it, so unfortunately we cant help you. Here is a link to a company that may be able to help you though.

We are a stove showroom that offers a supply and install package. Myself personally, I would go down the fire board the chamber route on the sides, square off the opening as the arch is small or just leave the arch brickwork exposed and split face oyster slate the back of the opening which will give you a nice light opening, the sides can then be painted a light colour. The hearth I would recommend something rustic such as an Indian stone which will tie in nicely with the oyster back. If you square off the opening this leaves you the option to install a beam or not. I have attached a picture of something like what I would recommend. The stove is a DG Ivar which at the minute is an extremely popular option.

If you do put your TV on a long low console where the fireplace now is, you will most probably have space for a chair in the corner where the TV now is. You could put the floor lamp that is now next to the smaller sofa with that chair, or at least in that corner. Then put lamp that doesn't take up that much space in the corner with the smaller sofa. I hope you'll have enough space left for a coffee table of some sort. Do you know the dimensions of your room? I would have loved to put the coffee table in the right direction, but can only do so much photoshop magic ;-)

I would say the first is original and is likely cast iron and not wood. There are probably many layers of paint built up disguising the fact. This can be stripped with Nitromorse and then polished up with a metal brush on a drill. This will give you a polished iron finish which will rust if left. Then you need to decide whether to re paint or to use a 'black lead' polish which will retain that lustrous metal sheen. The second surround looks a bit cobbled together to me. The original was likely also to be cast iron, perhaps got damaged. This does look like timber but the design has odd proportions and could have been a later addition.

What it looks like you have there is a gas fire called a valor ultimate slimline which is designed to go into what we would call a precast flue, which basically is a slim flue system, wood burners would require class 1 flue systems like your traditional brick built chimney with a chimney stack, if you look on your roof you may have a raised ridge tile this would confirm wether or not it is precast flue as shown in the picture. If this is the case the only way you could have a woodburning stove is to run a external flue up the side of the house if it is a semi or detached property and you could house the stove in a false chimney as suggested but this can be quite a costly affair with all the flue components required. Otherwise you will require a gas fire which is suitable for a precast flue, if you require any further advice please don't hesitate to ask.
