I assume you mean the face of the fireplace. It's mortar not grout and what you want is called " tuck pointing ". You can use a hammer and cold chisel and chip out the mortar just deep enough to be filled with new mortar. It's time consuming but if you go slow and easy it's not bad.

If it's in good condition, leave it alone."if it ain't-don't fix it"!Bricks are held together with mortar,and in fireplaces ,a special mix designed to withstand high heat.This is not something most people are equipt or knowlegable enough to do.Contact a good mason to inspect it for you

certainly, it extremely is going to be very difficult to persuade him. The era hollow is an significant issue. he's merely some years from well-being subjects, that are inevitable as we age, and a 50 year previous lady is lots greater probable to adhere around for the well-being issues than a 26 year previous. merely talking realistically. :(

There are issues dealing with moisture and possible exploding from heat that you shouldn't mess with.Talk to a professional about it to see if your fireplace is functional and safe.

It's messy, but you can use a Dremel rotary grinder tool.
You dont have to take it all out, just enought for a good new covering.
