lol now i know you are not the full shilling , hey ever heard of a kango?FNT - what, though, if the hearth was raised above the floor board level? Would you screed over the entire timber floor, to bring that up to the same level?!
How so? I gave two options: the bare minimum, or cock-all. No bolts, or angles, mentioned anywhereit isnt , why do you make a mountain out of a mole hill,strange person lol

you mean the joists that used to be supported by the now-removed chimneybreasts?
Nope, they trim around the breast, are/were not built into it.
Hi
Just moved into a new house and the firebreast from the upstairs bedroom has been removed and the chimney breast in the loft supported with concrete lintels.
The surveyor said I can just knock down the remaining firebreast downstairs so here I go.
Now it's probably a stupid question but I'm guessing I should start at the top by the ceiling, drill the heck out of one brick and smash it up so I can then get easier access to knock the surrounding bricks out.
Should I remove all of the front bricks leaving the two sides to remove last and work down or just removed everything from the top and work my way down?
I'm assuming that where the breast joins the wall the bricks will be bedded into the wall as opposed to just sitting flush with the wall. If this is the case do I need to try to remove the bedded bricks (if so how?) or should i just try to chop off the extruding piece of brick? if you do decide to screed over hearth after taking out a couple inches with a (kango) make sure you you dont sit on the floor in that space as building regulations and specs and stuff wouldnt want you to do that as it might be a cold spot
cheers
