    Log burner recess plastering

    We have had our living room skimmed and we are getting a log burner installed. We have had the face of the wall with the recess skimmed and we were going to restore the pre-existing bricks, however the angle bead has been placed into the recess and is visible against the brick. Is there a way around this - we have been advised a return will be placed to box the metal in, but we’re worried as to how obvious this will be. Thanks!
