Hearth repairs- can I put ordinary cement in front of my wood heater?

Answered

Hi DIYers I need to repair my fire hearth as the so called “fire suitable tiles” have cracked and it’s a mess. By the time I clear off all the old grout I will have a depth of about 8ml so my question is can I just put ordinary cement in front of my wood heater? I can’t make it any deeper as the heater sits low therefore I don’t think I have many options. Regards Debbie

It des not need to be level with the floor.

  I can have the front section raised (ie where the floor begins) but because of the panel which opens up for maintenance being at the bottom of the heater then what ever I put in front needs to be low

  is this hearth fixed into a wall as a fireplace? or can it be raised?

  The hearth is set against the brick wall and over the top of the floor boards
