Hi everyone
we live in a mid terraced house and upstairs we have two chimney breasts one in each room both on the same party wall, downstairs directly below the front bedroom chimney Breast is the living room chimney ( the living room chimney is a bit wider than upstairs.)
the other chimney Brest in the back bedroom below it is the kitchen but there isn’t a chimney breast?
we are wanting to remove all the breasts in which I was thinking of putting a steel Into the loft but not sure if I can put
One in there as I’ve never seen a chimney breast like mine before?
also I’m a bit confused why there isn’t a chimney breast in the kitchen ?
a structural engineer we be doing the calcs for the rsj , and already have the party Wall Agreement, also I know the use of galllows brackets aren’t allowed
the other issue I have is the partition walls between bedrooms are are studs between them and also the depth of all chimney breasts are different .
so if I didn’t put a steel
Into the loft I’m not sure how I could put it through the bedrooms
live installed loads of catnic sand rsj into supporting walls but only a couple of chimney breasts unfortunately not
Like mine lol
Any suggestions , info etc will be most welcomed
apologies for the naff photo !
Many thanks
Jake
