Prefab chimney breast....

[JonHarman]

Hi there, hope this is the right place

Recently bought a pretty fab house and wanting to maybe get rid of the chimney breast or try and incorporate. I'm not sure and know I need to be careful about the asbestos here so was wondering...

The boiler has been removed, was previously behind the gas fire, but the flue still remains. Has this flue got asbestos? If so do I need it removed? If it is could I still use as a log fire flue or is this unsafe?

...looking for anyone who has worked on these types of house for help please, i know here houses are near enough all the same.

Cheers

A pre fab with a chimney breast which you want to remove?

Yes, a pre fab house, although it's also pretty fab (or will be at least).

I'm thinking I will keep the chimney if I can use it, hence why im checking this kind of thing out.

Hate spell check on these phones
