Hi, I've just bought a 1970s detached house and there is a small chimney breast in one of the rooms. There is no fireplace or breast present in the room directly above it.
I had a builder come round and he said it could just be knocked out and it would support itself
Is this the case or will it need a lintel above?
I've been quoted £650 to remove it and plaster the wall. If it doesn't need any support and I can just get rid of it myself, I'd like to do that to save some money.
