Open up a chimney breast for an electric stove to sit freestanding

Posted by Nicola , on
Hi I want to install a freestanding electric stove (looks like a wood burner) in my chimney breast. There is a small plastic vent opening 10 inches x 12 inches but obviously it needs to be made big enough so the fire can sit inside the fireplace & finished plastered or rendered depends so all i have to do is plug in the fire.I had the chimney swept last week. I would like to know what work would be required? & how long it should take to do? & an idea of how much it should cost?please. Any advice given is gratefully appreciated, many thanks
