Wondering about a house I am thinking of buying. It has chimney breasts which take up room space downstairs aswell as upstairs in bedrooms. If I could remove the chimney breasts it would increase space.
On the roof the chimney has already been removed. in the Attic the chimney curves down splits into two sections like in the shape of a gothic arch, this then goes down through the house.
Would party-wall permission be needed? How about if I'm a quiet worker...no-one need know! I'm very certain next door does not share this chimney, because their stairs would be along this wall just as the stairs in this house are also along the other wall - with no fireplaces.
Is it simply a question of starting at the top in the attic, and removing it brick by brick? Then clean & point what is inside the chimney, then render and patch up the ceilings.
Cheers
