Why you cannot remove your chimney breast part 2

[@Jcasal89]

First informative video! Thank you. We are currently in the process of buying a 1950's house and noticed the ground floor chimney breast had been removed. I can't find anything on the council portal so assume this was done a very long time ago as the decoration is also dated. How do i now know if this was done correctly as there is no steel beam that i could see going accross and the person selling the house has no idea or paperwork. Please help!

I.m glad someone pointed this out as you can cause a lot of damage to the house next door.

Can I remove the reinforcement beam or lintel from the front of my brick chimney to create space for a wood-burning stove, like an antique cast-iron model? If I do this, the beam would need to be positioned above head height. Is it safe to make this change without risking a chimney collapse? I really want to install this stove for baking and cooking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

If my chimney stack has been removed already for a loft conversion is there any need for any steels

Hi great video Thansk
Am I right in thinking
Can the neighbour object to this breast removal

Probably not successfully unless they can demonstrate the party wall is significantly weakened thereby.
