Thank you Mr Punter, but how would a chimney stack be installed without a chimney breast to support it, the upper floor will be completely new, the existing ground will have the old chimney breast removed.
Unless I get a replica stack installed as part of the build. We are a few months away from touching the existing roof.
Hi, I got approval for planning permission in a conservation area. The house was built in the late 1960s and is in red brick.
Works: a double storey extension and the reorientation of the roof (new) parallel to the road.
As part of the schedule of works I asked my builder to include removal the chimney breast from inside the house as it was taking up too much room. As a consequence it meant no chimney stack, this doesn’t bother me. I asked my architect he did seem to think it was a problem.
However, I am now worried that once the build is completed someone will notice that the house is missing a chimney stack.
I would be grateful for some guidance. Thank you in advance.
