"The estimated cost to remove a decorative fireplace and prepare the wall for mounting a TV, can range from a minimum of £350 to £700 for a basic removal with minimal wall repairs to a maximum of £3,500 to £7,000 or more for a more complex project, which may involve structural modifications, high-end wall finishes, permits, inspections, and TV installation. Keep in mind that the actual cost will depend on your specific project requirements, location, and the professionals you hire, so it's advisable to obtain quotes from local contractors for a more accurate estimate tailored to your situation."
