I took the gas fire out of the fireplace to look what is behind it. the chimney is central between living room and kitchen.
I thought there might have been a back boiler but it's empty and there is sooting in places, i assume it was actually a real flame fireplace.
I need to take the chimney out to give needed space to the kitchen.
I have pictures but don't know how to post them.
Looking up the chimney and there is creamy/grey cylindrical tube,not metallic. this is held in place by red bricks as used around the house.
Can someone advise how i can get this tested, i've seen comments about tests online etc but i would like a recommendation from someone who has used them.
