Hoping you guys can advise.
Have been in our bungalow for around 7 years now, when moving in the surveyors pointed out that the chimney had been removed from the living room but no signs of supporting gallows brackets.
We are now thinking of removing the rest of the chimney from the loft (this is on a party wall)
What are the correct procedures? Contact council about planning permission / building regs? Structural surveyor? contact builders?
I am in Rayleigh, essex
