Sorry to be a bit dumb, but to make sure.

Blocking a doorway up

Hi, I want to blank a door off and have it as a flat wall in my living room. It's a brick wall so from that I'd guess it support some of the weight of upstairs. Can I just plaster board the door up once I've taken the frame out or do I need to have some sort of support in place? Many Thanks Jon

Ok that's fine.

So best to leave it and get a combi boiler and then I can get just pretty much any fire I want?

So I'm gonna be looking around the £1000 mark would you say?

Not sure how long it's been fitted but the date range on Baxi website is 1996 -2002 so somewhere in between there. D...
