I live in a detached house - There is a chimney which runs from top to bottom
I am thinking or removing the chimney to add a bit more space.
Does this need building control involved and will they ask for SE calcs?
I intend to remove the whole chimney from top to bottom and then add a few tiles to the roof where the chimney used to be - How long can I expect this to take two people?
Is two days labour to remove about right?
Finally are chimneys part of the structual stability of the house? I do not think they are but I remember hearing they provide lateral support
