Hi guys I would like some advice on the following if possible..
We are planning on having the chimneys removed from downstairs and upstairs in a 3 bed semi, but leave the stack. Our neighbours have already removed the chimneys. Our neighbours are unlikely to agree to any stack removal, no one gets along with them anymore. BC said we likely need a cranked beam and that they generally don't like to see gallow brackets used(Hounslow, west London.) He came around for an inspection on an extension.
I'm after a ball park figure for a structural report/ calculation that BC would be happy with. There isn't any drawings so the engineer would need to visit I guess. This would be in west London. Just don't want to get ripped off. I called one guy and he said £650+vat which was a shock.
Thanks all
