I want to remove one of the Chimney breasts in my house as part of some other work that with be done. The main requirement is to remove it from the ground floor room and use gallows brackets to secure the remaining structure.
But as we will be in the process of removing the Chimney breast and building control will be signing off the work. I am thinking of removing it all the way to the bedroom ceiling and install the gallows brackets just bellow the bedroom ceiling.
I understand this will increase the remedial work to the bedroom walls and downstairs ceiling.
But my question is would the floor joists need any major structural support if the Chimney breast was removed all the way to the bedroom ceiling?
