We're in the process of preparing a room for a kitchen fitting after knocking two rooms into one.
Along one side of the room is a chimney breast approx 1.4m wide with open fire grate but only 24cm deep. The brickwork for this finishes at ceiling joist level. It appears that the chimney itself is a much smaller stack inside the larger chimney breast.
Has anyone come across anything similar before? Trying to work out the relationship between the chimney stack and the chimney breast and whether we could remove the chimney breast leaving the much smaller stack.
