It was mentioned earlier that you can't assume or rely on gallows being acceptable, there are several factors needing consideration, and some councils don't accept them anyway. You need expert opinion on site, not from this forum.
Hi. I've hadh the chimney stack at top of roof removed completely (both mine and the neighbours side).
I have had my chimney removed in the loft area and will be completed tomorrow. The plan was to remove neighbours side too.
As my previous post the neighbours is supported by a timber beam which is on purlins.
The tradesman is saying that if neighbors remaining part in the loft is to be removed then the wall single skinned will have to be taken down.
Is this correct as I don't see why it should be taken down. The wall between mine and my neighbours chimneys in the loft is single skinned whereas the rest is double.
Please advise as we don't want the neighbors side to be left unsafe or cause any problems to and party wall.
Thanks
if it's in poor condition then maybe so, often apparently the b rickwork isn't really tied in with anything. However something would have to go up in its place to separate the two houses, a plasterboard ceiling and an open loft isn't really enough nowadays.
