Hi Guy's
I'm obviously new to this site so be gentle with me.
I'm after some advise my son is just about to buy his Late Nan's terrace house in Portsmouth and it needs some modernising along the way before he moves in. He want to remove the chimney in the kitchen & upstairs bedroom just up to the loft space to open up both rooms to clean unobstructed walls.
He has viewed several info items online with the use of with possibly support using Gallows brackets & concrete for support lintels
My question is, we are unsure if this requires building control approval & a structural survey and if so what type of application and supporting information is required?
I would be grateful if anyone out there in 'Pompey' for any advise, Structural engineers, their Contacts, Fees etc etc would be grateful. Obviously we want to keep cost to a minimum To. So to save on costs, he will along Friends do the removal work, but want to go through the correct 'legal' procedure. So any advise, Structural engineers, Contacts, Fees etc would be grateful to enable us to plan ahead.
Thanks
