Chimney removal

[Cpl_Carrott]

The house i live in has the chimney smack bang in the middle of the wall between the living room & dining room & obviously continues uptairs between the front & back bedroom.

what i would like to know, if anybody can help, is how hard would it be to remove the entire fireplace & rough costs involved

any advice gratefully received

thanks

Cpl_Carrott expressed precisely :

I would suggest getting a building structure surveyor in to see if that might be possible, as a first step. Often the chimney forms an integral part of the stability of the building's structure.
