Ideas for our chimney breast.
Comments (2)If its essentially redundant i would remove it to free up the space and have your stove freestanding. Ours is freestanding on a tiled hearth and looks great and the extra space really does make a difference....See MoreIdeas for a filled in chimney breast?

Comments (9)Hi, I painted the fireplace grey and the same colour as your walls, to show you...My reasoning for painting it the same as your walls is that you will probably have the door in white or possibly another colour, which makes it quite a stand out feature. That's one. And then you will add furniture to the room too, maybe a rug, curtains... so you'll be adding a lot of different colours anyway. So I'd keep the rest fairly calm. And I really don't think that the blue fireplace makes it less of a feature. But there we are. It's up to you :-)...See MoreRemoval of chimney breast
Comments (5)Hello, The party wall act 1996 in my opinion does not apply to the proposal to remove the chimney. If you intend to remove the chimney from ground floor to underside of the roof plane then you will not need an RSJ. If however you only removed the ground floor chimney breast then you will need to support the remaining chimney on a structural support designed by a structural engineer. Building control will need to be informed to ensure that the proposed design is robust and complies with the regulations and to oversee the building work. I would strongly recommend that a structural engineer is consulted prior to carrying out any of the proposed work. You may find that the external wall will require structural supports when the chimney is removed. An structural engineer will be able to provide you with this detail if required. Kind regards Andrew...See Morerinked
