Hi,
I have just had the survey back on a house I am buying - one of the comments was that the chimney breast had been removed upstairs but the remaining breast in the loft wasn’t adequately supported. I would like to rectify this shortly after we move in but was hoping for some advice. We are planning to convert the loft within the next two years so I was wondering would it be worth us removing the chimney breast in the loft instead re-supporting it? obviously this would have the added advantage of more space in the loft however if it is a lot more to do than the fix then I may not bother. I appreciate that every job is different, and it is very hard to say……….but approximately what would be the difference in cost of removing the loft chimney compared to re-supporting it.
Thanks a lot!
