I bought some gorgeous wardrobes for the alcoves in the bedroom and I took the wrong measurements.....
They need to go into the alcoves and I was wondering if it was possible to reduce the size of the chimney breast. I would need to take off 5 inches each side.
The other problem I have with this is that I want a solid fuel fire downstairs in the room beneath (future project)and I'm concerned about going into the chimney cavity area.
I really am a DIY novice so I probably would have to get in an expert to do this but who should I get round first, a builder or a chimney expert?
The bedroom also has a fireplace but this has been closed up, and my understanding is that the downstairs chimney flue curves around this and goes off to one side.
Any help on this matter greatly appreciated!
